Print.1359-7345 ; e:1364-548Xhttp://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/17236Final published version.Dinitrogen complexes of the type TpR,RCr–N2–CrTpR,R are not the most labile precursors for Cr(I) chemistry, as they are sterically protected from obligatory associative ligand substitution. A mononuclear alkyne complex – TptBu,MeCr(g2-C2(SiMe3)2) – proved to be much more reactive.en-USArticle is made available in accordance with the University of Delaware Faculty Policy on Open Access and the publisher's policy.CC-BY 3.0 Klaus TheopoldArticle10.1039/c5cc05993c
