	abstract = {An up-to-date account of the Synthesis of side-on-bound dinitrogen complexes of the lanthanides, the actinides, and the transition elements over the past 40 years is given. In addition, the reactivity of these derivatives is summarized. There have been many complicated multinuclear Cluster complexes with the N-2 imbedded in a fashion that corresponds to side-on N-2. There have been some suggestions, as early as 1960. that side-on dinitrogen complexes should exist. However, a key date in this area is 1988, which is when the disamarium Complex (CP*Sm-2)(2)(mu-eta(2):eta(2)-N-2) was reported. It is this date that is used in this account as the real starting point for the area of side-on dinitrogen coordination chemistry. After 1988, side-on dinitrogen complexes are reviewed from the point of view of Synthesis, structure (N-N bond lengths, where applicable), and reactivity. What becomes apparent is that while there have been many new side-on dinitrogen complexes discovered recently, investigations into their reactivity patterns are still at a primitive stage.},

	abstract = {The addition of diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) to the side-on end-on dinitrogen complex ([NPN]Ta)(2)(mu-eta(1):eta(2)-N-2)(mu-H)(2), 1 (where [NPN] = (PhNSiMe2CH2)(2)PPh), is described. The two end products are diastereomeric rotational isomers in which N-N bond cleavage has occurred with an Al(Bu-i)H group attached to one of the nitride atoms. The reaction proceeds through addition of DIBAL to 1 to generate a thermally sensitive intermediate that has been characterized in solution as the result of Al-H addition across the TaN2 moiety, namely, ([NPN]TaH)(mu-eta(1):eta(2)-NNA1(i)Bu(2))(mu-H)(2)(Ta[NPN), 2. This material subsequently rearranges via a second thermally labile intermediate to ultimately generate two diastereomeric end products that show N-N bond cleavage, loss of H-2, loss of an aluminum isobutyl group, and NPN ligand migration from tantalum to aluminum. Both of these complexes have been isolated in crystalline form and analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The second thermally sensitive intermediate has been characterized on the basis of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy as ([NPN]TaH)(mu-eta(1):eta(2)-(NNAlBu)-Bu-i(mu-H))(mu-H)(2)(Ta[NPN), 3.},

	abstract = {This review attempts to survey the recent literature concerning the coordination chemistry and the reactivity patterns of metal-dinitrogen complexes. In order that this work may stand alone, a certain amount of background information is included; however, the emphasis is on synthesis and reactivity patterns of recently discovered dinitrogen complexes. In addition, some effort is made to discuss new trends in dinitrogen chemistry as well as to point out underdeveloped topics in this area. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.},
