Early transition metal complexes are of interest for dinitrogen cleavage and functionalization (Nat. Chem. 2010, 2, 30-35; Science. 1997, 275, 1445-1447). Previously, the Hollis group has reported the synthesis and characterization of CCC-NHC Zr(IV), Ti(IV), and Hf(IV) pincer complexes. The reactions of these Group 4 complexes with various reducing agents are under investigation. Our latest results with the preparation and characterization of early metal low-oxidation-state CCC pincer metal complexes for binding and reduction of dinitrogen will be presented.<br/>
