Abstract

The universal force field approach is used to investigate the steric demand in nitrogen molecule cleavage by three-coordinate molybdenum complexes MoL₃ of different ligund types L (L = NH₂, NMe₂, N(mesityl)(tertbutyl). O(tert-butyl), Me, tert-butyl, neopentyl). Calculated geometries of the intermediates L₃Mo-N₂-MoL₃, of the products L₃MoN, and of the undersifable side product dimers L₃MoMoL₃ are presented. The primary role of ligand sterics appears to be the prevention of dimerization of MoL₃ monomers.
