A series of triiron complexes supported by a tris(β-diketiminate)cyclophane (<b>L</b> <sup><b>3-</b></sup> ) catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen to tris(trimethylsilyl)amine using KC<sub>8</sub> and Me<sub>3</sub>SiCl. Employing Fe<sub>3</sub>Br<sub>3</sub> <b>L</b> affords 83 ± 7 equiv. NH<sub>4</sub> <sup>+</sup>/complex after protonolysis, which is a 50% yield based on reducing equivalents. The series of triiron compounds tested evidences the subtle effects of ancillary donors, including hal ...[more]
