The compound is an excellent nucleophile, which means it can form bonds with electrophiles by donating an electron pair. It has several industrial applications — it is primarily used to synthesize plant growth regulators, dye leveling agents, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and choline. 11. Hydrazine ...
Interestingly, the dimetal complex is bifunctional in this process, acting as a nucleophile at the nitrogen atoms of the TEhpp ligands, and as an electrophile at the Mo鈥揗o axial bond sites. The protonation requires a novel synergism of these disparate bonding interactions, in which protonation...
