Complex 3 was placed in the end bulb of a two bulb sublimation tube and the other bulb was cooled with liquid nitrogen. The reductive elimination product, azobenzene, was collected in the cooled bulb as an orange solid by heating the sample at 100 °C, 4 × 10−6 mbar. Yield: 0.07 g, 26%. Analysis of azobenzene: 1H NMR (C6D6): δ 8.01 (4H, m, CH), 7.17–7.09 (6H, m, CH). GC-MS (ESI positive, MeOH): m/z 182.1 (32%) {PhNNPh}+; (ESI negative, MeOH): m/z 180.97 (64%) {PhNNPh−H+}.
