title: Electroactive mesoporous tantalum oxide catalysts for nitrogen activation and ammonia synthesis.
abstract: A new mesoporous Ta oxide catalyst for conversion of dinitrogen to ammonia shows strong evidence for a novel mechanism involving low valent Ta on the surface, supporting recent work in organometallic chemistry using low valent early transition metals for dinitrogen cleavage.
