Better by Hf : Anion coordination to a bridging hafnocene nitride complex, prepared from CO‐induced N 2 cleavage, increases the nucleophilicity of the nitrogen atom, thus promoting additional NC bond formation with a typically inert terminal isocyanate ligand. This cascade sequence allows synthesis of otherwise challenging mono‐substituted ureas using N 2 , CO, and an appropriate electrophile.
