Abstract

A dinuclear hafnium complex containing the parent imido ligand [(PN)(PNC)Hf=NH{μ2‐K}]2(2) (PN=(N‐(2‐PiPr2‐4‐methylphenyl)‐2,4,6‐Me3C6H2; PNC2−=(N‐(2‐PiPr2‐4‐methylphenyl)‐2,4,6‐CH2Me2C6H2), was prepared by reduction of the bisazide trans‐[(PN)2Hf(N3)2] (1) with two equiv of KC8. Encapsulation of K+in2with crown‐ether or cryptand affords the first discrete salt [K(encap)][(PN)(PNC)Hf≡NH] (encap=18‐crown‐6(THF)2,3; 2,2,2‐Kryptofix,4), featuring a terminal parent imide and possessing some of the shortest Hf−N bond lengths known to date. DFT calculations revealed formation of2to proceed via an extremely basic monomeric nitrido, [(PN)2Hf≡N](A), having a computed pKBH+of ∼57 followed by heterolytic splitting of an inert 1,2‐CH bond of a benzylic methyl group across the Hf≡N triple bond inA. An electronic structure analysis revealsAto possess a covalent Hf≡N triple bond and of super‐basic character. We also showcase reactivity of the Hf≡NH bond with various electrophiles.
