Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The syntheses of two new NP₃ ligands containing propylene linkages, prNP₃ (<bold>1</bold>) = N(CH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₃ and prPNetP₂ (<bold>2</bold>) = (Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂)N(CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂ are reported. Using these ligands, bis(dinitrogen) complexes of molybdenum are synthesized and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The new systems are compared with the literature‐known complex [Mo(N₂)₂(NP₃)] (<bold>3</bold>) supported by the ligand NP₃ [NP₃= N(CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₃], which only contains ethylene linkages. Application of the new ligand reduces the symmetry of the complex and leads to the occurrence of different isomers.</p> </abstract>
