✦ Synopsis

Recent EXAFS [l] studies of nitrogenase and other molybdo-proteins have stimulated interest in molybdenum complexes with sulfur ligands. However, none of the complexes so far reported bind or activate dinitrogen. In fact, there are very few examples of molybdenum-sulfur complexes which interact with small molecules that can function as inhibitors or alternative substrates for nitrogenase or indeed with any ligands relevant to nitrogen fixation. Hydrazido(2-) complexes are proven intermediates in both protonation

[2] and the alkylation
