Recent developments in the homogeneous reduction of dinitrogen by molybdenum and iron
Open accessAbstract
The reduction of gaseous nitrogen (N2) is a challenge for industrial, biological and synthetic chemists, who want to understand the formation of ammonia (NH3) for agriculture and also want to form N-C and N-Si bonds for fine chemical synthesis. The iron-molybdenum active site of nitrogenase has inspired chemists to explore the ability of iron and molybdenum complexes to bring about transformations related to N2 reduction. This area of research has gained significant momentum, and the last two years have witnessed a number of significant advances in synthetic Fe-N2 and Mo-N2 chemistry. In addition, the identities of all atoms in the iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenase have finally been elucidated, and the discovery of a carbide has generated new questions and targets for coordination chemists. This Perspective summarizes the recent work on iron and molydenum complexes, and highlights the opportunities for continued research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
