Nitrogen fixation, the six-electron/six-proton reduction of N2, to give NH3, is one of the most
challenging and important chemical transformations. Notwithstanding the barriers …

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 …

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 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 …

While recent spectroscopic studies have established the presence of an interstitial carbon
atom at the center of the iron–molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) of MoFe-nitrogenase, its role …

Ammonia (NH3) synthesis is an important industrial chemical process. Recently,
electrochemically converting the earth-abundant dinitrogen (N2) in the aqueous phase to …

We have recently reported on several Fe catalysts for N2-to-NH3 conversion that operate at
low temperature (− 78° C) and atmospheric pressure while relying on a very strong …

Hydrosilanes are used as versatile coreactants in the generation of silyl-metal complexes.
Since organohydrosilanes may contain one, two, or three SiH bonds as tertiary, secondary …

Biological N2 fixation to NH3 may proceed at one or more Fe sites in the active-site cofactors
of nitrogenases. Modeling individual e–/H+ transfer steps of iron-ligated N2 in well-defined …

Molybdenum complexes that contain the triamidoamine ligand [(RNCH2CH2) 3N] 3−(R= 3,
5‐(2, 4, 6‐iPr3C6H2) 2C6H3) catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia at 22° C and …
