<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.https://news.mit.edu/1995/nitrogen-0517[MIT News, 17 May 1995: three-coordinate molybdenum complex and nitrogen cleavage]{ref}
