Preparation and reactivity of molybdenum–dinitrogen complexes bearing an arsenic-containing ANA-type pincer ligand

TL;DR: Novel mono- and dimolybdenum-dinitrogen complexes bearing an arsenic-containing ANA-type pincer ligand are prepared and characterized by X-ray analyses and afford a stoichiometric amount of ammonia by treatment with sulfuric acid at room temperature.

Plasma-Induced Catalytic Conversion of Nitrogen and Hydrogen to Ammonia over Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks ZIF-8 and ZIF-67.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can be employed as efficient catalysts for the cold plasma ammonia synthesis using an atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge reactor.

Electrochemical synthesis of ammonia by zirconia-based catalysts at ambient conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, 8.5mol% Y2O3 doped zirconia nanoparticles (8YSZ-NPs) are used as a noble metal free catalyst for reducing nitrogen to ammonia, which enhances the performances of zirconsia and ytrria to a high faradic efficiency (FE) of 12.3% and a large NH3 yield of 10.84μg h−1.1

Catalytic Reduction of Dinitrogen to Ammonia at a Single Molybdenum Center

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the catalytic reduction of dinitrogen by molybdenum complexes that contain the [HIPTN3N]3- ligand.

A review of the problem of distinguishing true homogeneous catalysis from soluble or other metal-particle heterogeneous catalysis under reducing conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider cases in which a discrete transition-metal complex is used as a precatalyst for reductive catalysis and focus on the problem of determining if the true catalyst is a metal-complex homogeneous catalyst or if it is a soluble or other metal-particle heterogeneous catalyst.

Ammonia synthesis using a stable electride as an electron donor and reversible hydrogen store

TL;DR: Kinetic analysis with infrared spectroscopy reveals that C12A7:e(-) markedly enhances N(2) dissociation on Ru by the back donation of electrons and that the poisoning of ruthenium surfaces by hydrogen adatoms can be suppressed effectively because of the ability of C12 a7: e(-) to store hydrogen reversibly.
