An iron complex bearing a pyridine(dicarbene) pincer was designed to probe the requirements of Lewis acid-enabled N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub> capture and subsequent N-N bond cleavage. Appended boron Lewis acids were installed by two methods to circumvent the incompatibilities associated with Lewis acid/base quenching of free carbenes and boranes. N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub> capture by borane Lewis acids is dependent on both the Lewis acidity and the steric profile about boron. A substitutionally i ...[more]
