Abstract

Organic azides can serve as precursors to reactive metal nitrenes. Transition metal complexes of organic azide ligands are typically prepared by coordination of pre-synthesized organic azides to appropriate metal complexes. Here, we report on-complex assembly of organic azides by alkylation of metal complexes featuring inorganic azide ligands. This strategy, which we demonstrate in the context of Rh2 complexes, avoids isolation and handling of organic azides and thus provides access to complexes of volatile, potentially explosive organic azide ligands.
