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 …

Dinitrogen (N2) is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, but its inertness hinders its
use as a nitrogen source in the biosphere and in industry. Efficient catalysts are hence …

Light-driven N2 cleavage into molecular nitrides is an attractive strategy for synthetic
nitrogen fixation. However, suitable platforms are rare. Furthermore, the development of …

Splitting of N2 via six-electron reduction and further functionalization to value-added
products is one of the most important and challenging chemical transformations in N2 …

A new [PCCP]‐coordinated molybdenum platform comprising a coordinated alkyne was
employed for the cleavage of molecular dinitrogen. The coordinated η2‐alkyne was left …

The synthesis of N-containing organophosphine compounds using N2 as the nitrogen
source under mild conditions has attracted much attention. Herein, the conversion of N2 into …

Hemilabile ligands that undergo reversible changes in denticity have long been exploited to
enable catalyst activation and to increase lifetime. However, this common description does …

Molybdenum (III) complexes bearing pincer-type ligands are well-known catalysts for N2-to-
NH3 reduction. We investigated herein the impact of an anionic PNP pincer-type ligand in a …

Construction of nitrogen–nitrogen triple bonds via homocoupling of metal nitrides is an
important fundamental reaction relevant to a potential Nitrogen Economy. Here, we report …

In dinitrogen (N2) fixation chemistry, bimetallic end‐on bridging N2 complexes M (μ‐η1: η1‐
N2) M can split N2 into terminal nitrides and hence attract great attention. To date, only 4d …
