Catalytic hydrazine disproportionation mediated by a thiolate-bridged VFe complex

Abstract

A heterobimetallic VFe complex is demonstrated to catalyse hydrazine disproportionation with yields of up to 1073 equivalents of NH_3 per catalyst, comparable to the highest turnover known for any molecular catalyst. Notably, the heterobimetallic complex is appreciably more active than monometallic analogues of the V and Fe sites, suggesting that bimetallic cooperativity may facilitate the observed catalysis.
