Asymmetric trinuclear and dinuclear Cr(i) dinitrogen complexes bearing cyclopentadienyl-phosphine ligands were synthesized via reduction of their corresponding Cr(ii) chloride complexes in the presence of N2. Oxidative addition reactions of single, double and triple bonds are found to take place on the low-valent Cr(i) centre.
