Description
Summary:This paper describes our recent progress in catalytic nitrogen fixation by using transition-metal–dinitrogen complexes as catalysts. Two reaction systems for the catalytic transformation of molecular dinitrogen into ammonia and its equivalent such as silylamine under ambient reaction conditions have been achieved by the molybdenum–, iron–, and cobalt–dinitrogen complexes as catalysts. Many new findings presented here may provide new access to the development of economical nitrogen fixation in place of the Haber–Bosch process.
