Abstract

The activation of N 2 O using a Cp*Fe( ii ) complex reveals exotic intermediates and dual mono- and bimetallic activation pathways that lead to catalytic O-transfer and nitrobenzene reduction.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Ammonia Synthesis and Nitrogen Reduction Nanomaterials for catalytic reactions Metalloenzymes and iron-sulfur proteins
