The production of synthetic ammonia remains dependent on the energy-and capital-
intensive Haber–Bosch process. Extensive research in molecular catalysis has …

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 …

A highly active graphdiyne heterojunction with highly efficient photocatalysis is designed
and fabricated. This catalyst demonstrates transformative properties on photocatalysis for …

Nitrogenase is the enzyme that catalyzes biological N2 reduction to NH3. This enzyme
achieves an impressive rate enhancement over the uncatalyzed reaction. Given the high …

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 …

Activation of dinitrogen plays an important role in daily anthropogenic life, and the processes
by which this fixation occurs have been a longstanding and significant research focus within …

Here we report that attempted preparation of low-valent CaI complexes in the form of LCa-
CaL (where L is a bulky β-diketiminate ligand) under dinitrogen (N2) atmosphere led to …

Nitrogenases are responsible for biological nitrogen fixation, a crucial step in the
biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. These enzymes utilize a two-component protein system and …

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 …

Photocatalytic ammonia synthesis from N2 is a carbon-neutral strategy, although its
efficiency is impeded by the activation of inert N≡ N triple bonds. In N2 activation, the …
