چکیده
This paper reviews the current array of complexes of relevance to achieving lanthanide mediated nitrogen fixation. A brief history of nitrogen fixation is described, including a limited discussion of successful transition metal facilitated nitrogen fixation systems. A detailed discussion of the numerous lanthanide-nitrogen species relevant to nitrogen fixation are discussed and are related to the Chatt cycle for nitrogen fixation.

متن کاملIron–dinitrogen coordination chemistry: Dinitrogen activation and reactivity
Understanding the coordination of dinitrogen to iron is important for understanding biological nitrogen fixation aswell as for designing synthetic systems that are capable of reducing N2 to NH3 undermild conditions. This review discusses recent advances in iron–dinitrogen coordination complexes and describes the factors that contribute to the degree of activation of the coordinatedN2. The react...

In this lecture I will focus on some recent developments in the chemistry of high oxidation state dinitrogen complexes with an emphasis on recent results involving triamidoamine molybdenum complexes. The heterogeneous iron-catalyzed Haber-Bosch reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia at relatively high pressures (200-400 atm) and temperatures (350-650OC) was the f is t and most dramatic man-made cat...
متن کاملCASPT2 study of inverse sandwich-type dinuclear 3d transition metal complexes of ethylene and dinitrogen molecules: similarities and differences in geometry, electronic structure, and spin multiplicity.
The spin multiplicities and coordination structures of inverse sandwich-type complexes (ISTCs) of ethylene and dinitrogen molecules with 3d transition metal elements (Sc to Ni), (μ-C2H4)[M(AIP)]2 and (μ-N2)[M(AIP)]2 (AIPH = (Z)-1-amino-3-iminoprop-1-ene; M = Sc to Ni) were investigated by the CASPT2 method. In both ethylene and dinitrogen ISTCs of the early 3d transition metals (Sc to Cr), sand...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic Azide Oxidation Mediated by a Rh(PNP) Pincer Complex
One-electron oxidation of the rhodium(I) azido complex [Rh(N3 )(PNP)] (5), bearing the neutral, pyridine-based PNP ligand 2,6-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyridine, leads to instantaneous and selective formation of the mononuclear rhodium(I) dinitrogen complex [Rh(N2 )(PNP)]+ (9+ ). Interestingly, complex 5 also acts as a catalyst for electrochemical N3- oxidation (Ep ≈-0.23 V vs. Fc+/0 ) i...
