The large carbon footprint of the Haber–Bosch process, which provides ammonia for
fertilizers but also the feedstock for all nitrogenous commercial products, has fueled the …

The functionalization of coordinated dinitrogen to form nitrogen–element bonds en route to
nitrogen-containing molecules is a long-standing challenge in chemical synthesis. The …

N2 is fixed as NH3 industrially by the Haber–Bosch process under harsh conditions,
whereas biological nitrogen fixation is achieved under ambient conditions, which has …

Nitrogen (N2) fixation by nature, which is a crucial process for the supply of bio-available
forms of nitrogen, is performed by nitrogenase. This enzyme uses a unique transition-metal …

This paper describes a recent advance on the conversion of molecular dinitrogen into
ammonia or ammonia equivalent, silylamine, by using transition metal–dinitrogen …

Molecular nitrogen (N2) is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, but its low reactivity
has hampered its use as a precursor to higher value nitrogen-containing compounds …

The crux for solar N 2 reduction to ammonia is activating N 2 into its high-energy
intermediate. Applying a simultaneous multi-electron reduction process could avoid …

The mechanisms of the few known molecular nitrogen-fixing systems, including nitrogenase
enzymes, are of much interest but are not fully understood. We recently reported that Fe–N2 …

The reduction of gaseous nitrogen is a challenge for industrial, biological and synthetic
chemists. Major goals include understanding the formation of ammonia for agriculture, and …

As a promising ammonia synthesis approach to replace the industrial Harber method, the
biggest problem restricting photocatalytic nitrogen fixation is the suboptimal efficiency …
