Historical account of dinitrogen-bridged diiron complex synthesis using a commercial tripodal ligand The KC8 reduction of (Triphos)FeCl2 in toluene under 3.4 atm of N2 afforded [(Triphos)Fe]2(μ-N2), which features a modestly-activated N2 ligand and antiferromagnetically coupled Fe(0) centres. The addition of H2 to this compound yielded (Triphos)Fe(μ-H)3Fe(μ-H)3Fe(Triphos).
