The activation of dinitrogen by coordination to transition metal ions is a widely used and
promising approach to the utilization of Earth's most abundant nitrogen source for chemical …

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction (N2R) mediated by well-defined molecular catalysts is
poorly developed by comparison with other reductive electrocatalytic transformations …

Ammonia (NH3) is industrially produced from dinitrogen (N2) and dihydrogen (H2) by the
Haber–Bosch process, although H2 is prepared from fossil fuels, and the reaction requires …

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 …

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 …

Transition metal halide complexes are used as precursors for reductive N2 activation up to
full splitting into nitride complexes. Distinct halide effects on the redox properties and yields …

Molecular catalysis of electrochemical reactions involving transition-metal complexes as
catalysts requires getting a free metal coordination site to bind the substrate. It implies that …

Transition-metal-mediated splitting of N2 to form metal nitride complexes could constitute a
key step in electrocatalytic nitrogen fixation, if these nitrides can be electrochemically …

Three molybdenum trihalogenido complexes supported by different PN3P pincer ligands
were synthesized and investigated regarding their activity towards catalytic N2-to-NH3 …

Molybdenum trichloride complexes bearing pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligands with a
pendent pyridyl unit as a proton mediating moiety are newly designed and synthesized for …
