Metal–ligand cooperativity (MLC) is an established strategy for developing effective
hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysts. Metal–metal cooperativity (MMC) in …

Recent advances in catalytic nitrogen fixation using well-defined molecular transition metal–
dinitrogen complexes and their precursors as catalysts under ambient or mild reaction …

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 …

Electrophilic functionalization of N2 moieties in metal dinitrogen complexes typically initiates
the catalytic synthesis of N-containing molecules directly from N2. Despite intensive …

The activation of dinitrogen (N2) and direct incorporation of its N atom into C–H bonds to
create aliphatic C–N compounds remains unresolved. Incompatible conditions between …

In this study, three tetracoordinated bis (silylene) iron (II) chlorides, namely,[SiCHRSi] FeCl2
(1)(R= H),(2)(R= CH3), and (3)(R= Ph), were synthesized through the reactions of the three …

Iron sites in both nitrogenase enzymes and chemical catalysts for N2 fixation are typically at
constrained distances and angles. Herein, we report a one-electron reduction reaction …

Herein, we report that a cobalt catalyst permits the general synthesis of substituted
alkynylsilanes through dehydrogenative coupling of alkynylsilanes and hydrosilanes …

Several metalloenzymes, including [FeFe]-hydrogenase, employ cofactors wherein multiple
metal atoms work together with surrounding ligands that mediate heterolytic and concerted …

Various commercially available primary and secondary hydrosilanes were exploited for
versatile direct dehydrocoupling with alcohols and phenols through cobalt catalysis. The …
