Activation and functionalization of N 2 : A mixed diimide/dinitride tetranuclear titanium complex formed by activation of dinitrogen served as a unique platform for the synthesis of nitriles (see picture). Functional groups such as aromatic C−X (X=Cl, Br, I) bonds, nitro groups, and ammonia‐sensitive aldehyde and chloromethyl moieties were compatible with the synthetic method.
