The N 2 ligand in the title complex (M 8 [16]anS 4 = 3,3,7,7,11,11,15,15‐octamethyl‐1,5,9,13‐tetrathiacyclohexadecane) displays unprecedented reactivity. It reacts with aryl halides and benzyl bromide in toluene at room temperature without irradiation to give Mo II aryldiazenido and dibenzylhydrazido complexes, respectively. Its reaction with methanol and acetone affords NH 3 and Me 2 CNNCMe 2 , respectively. Phosphane analogues of the title complex do not undergo such reactions. The structure of trans [MoI(N 2 ‐ p ‐C 6 H 4 CO 2 Me)(Me 8 [16]anS 4 )], the diazenido complex, is shown on the right.
