56. Attempts to collect Raman spectra of 3 have been thwarted by the propensity of 3 to undergo a reversible reaction upon irradiation with the 1064 nm incident laser. Dark green ethereal solutions of 3 turn golden brown upon insertion into the path of the laser; removal prompts the dark green color to reappear. We tentatively attribute this reactivity to reversible coordination of dinitrogen.
