Christopher C. Cummins investigated cleavage of the strong nitrogen triple bond with a molybdenum complex. In work reported in 1995, two three-coordinate molybdenum complexes reacted with molecular nitrogen to give two molybdenum–nitrogen units. The result provided a molecular example of nitrogen-bond cleavage under mild conditions.[ref]
