AI Article Synopsis
- Dimolybdenum complexes using a specific pincer ligand, designed through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, were developed to study the process of breaking down nitrogen bonds.
- These complexes efficiently catalyze the formation of ammonia from dinitrogen when paired with samarium diiodide as a reducing agent and water as a source of protons.
- The reactions occur successfully under normal ambient conditions, highlighting the effectiveness of the new dimolybdenum complexes in ammonia synthesis.
Article Abstract
Dimolybdenum complexes bearing 3,3'''-(1,1':3',1'':3'',1'''-quaterphenylene)-bridged pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligand are designed and prepared according to DFT calculations on the cleavage step of dinitrogen-bridged dimolybdenum complexes bearing polyphenylene-bridged pyridine-based PNP-type pincer ligands. The dimolybdenum complexes are found to work as effective catalysts toward ammonia formation from dinitrogen with samarium diiodide as a reductant and water as a proton source under ambient reaction conditions.
