1,4-Bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene is an effective silyl transfer reagent towards the oxygen of nitrate coordinated to Cr(iii) in a pincer complex. Two nitrate oxygens are removed to give the 17 valence electron octahedral complex (H<sub>2</sub>L)Cr(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(NO). This is shown by a variety of spectroscopic methods, together with DFT, to be a Cr(i) complex with a linear CrNO unit. This work also identifies future applications of this reductive silylation proce ...[more]
