Interplay of Alkali, Transition Metals, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen in Ammonia Synthesis and Decomposition Reactions

Jianping Guo et al.

Summary: The fixation of dinitrogen into ammonia is crucial for the biogeochemical cycle on earth, with ammonia also showing potential as a sustainable energy carrier. Significant efforts have been made towards developing green processes and advanced materials for ammonia synthesis and decomposition under milder conditions, leading to promising progress. The reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia requires electrons and protons, with potential supply coming from hydridic hydrogen H-.

Development of catalytic nitrogen fixation using transition metal complexes not relevant to nitrogenases

Shogo Kuriyama et al.

Summary: Previously, well-defined transition metal complexes capable of catalyzing nitrogen reduction were limited to molybdenum and iron complexes, which are relevant to biological nitrogen fixation. However, in the last five years, other transition metal complexes not related to nitrogenases have been reported to exhibit catalytic activity towards nitrogen fixation under mild reaction conditions.

Mechanistic aspects of ammonia synthesis on Ta3N5 surfaces in the presence of intrinsic nitrogen vacancies

Constantinos D. Zeinalipour-Yazdi

Summary: Intrinsic nitrogen vacancies on the surfaces of Ta3N5 act as catalytic centers for ammonia synthesis via a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. In this proposed mechanism, dinitrogen is activated on a specific side between two surface Ta atoms, with the reaction proceeding through moderate barriers but with some elementary steps involving strong adsorption of ammonia, which may poison the surface catalytic sites.

Activation of the Si-B interelement bond related to catalysis

Jian-Jun Feng et al.

Summary: Si-B reagents, including silylboronic esters and silylboranes, have gained attention for their versatility in introducing silicon and boron atoms into organic frameworks. Recent advancements in the field have led to diverse transformations through transition-metal-catalysed or transition-metal-free Si-B bond activation. This review focuses on the new applications of Si-B reagents and also discusses new methods of their preparation and relevant reaction mechanisms.
