Small molecules such as H2, N2, CO, NH3, O2 are ubiquitous stable species and their
activation and role in the formation of value-added products are of fundamental importance …

Nitrogenase is the only enzyme capable of reducing N2 to NH3. This challenging reaction
requires the coordinated transfer of multiple electrons from the reductase, Fe-protein, to the …

Biological nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by the enzyme nitrogenase, which facilitates the
cleavage of the relatively inert triple bond of N2. Nitrogenase is most commonly associated …

Transition metal–sulfur (M–S) compounds are an indispensable means for biological
systems to convert N2 into NH3 (biological N2 fixation), and these may have emerged by …

Photosensitizers, which harness light energy to upgrade weak reductants to strong
reductants, are pivotal components of the natural and artificial photosynthesis machineries …

The Fischer–Tropsch (FT) process converts a mixture of CO and H2 into liquid hydrocarbons
as a major component of the gas-to-liquid technology for the production of synthetic fuels …

While native CO2‐reducing enzymes display remarkable catalytic efficiency and product
selectivity, few artificial biocatalysts have been engineered to allow understanding how the …

Azotobacter vinelandii has been studied for over 100 years since its discovery as an aerobic
nitrogen-fixing organism. This species has proved useful for the study of many different …

The high affinity of sulfur (S) for transition metal ions (M), as well as the flexible M− S
bonding and bridging modes, enable the formation of a wide range of multi-metallic …

The chemical and electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value added chemicals entails the
development of efficient and selective catalysts. Synthesis, characterization and …
