Abstract
A chiral tetra-NHC iron(ii) complex and its disparate reactivity with multiple organic azides is reported. Both aryl and alkyl azides react with the iron(ii) complex yielding three distinct products: an iron(iv) imide, an iron(iv) tetrazene, and a surprising and unprecedented double imide insertion complex.
