title: Catalytic Dinitrogen Fixation to Form Ammonia at Ambient Reaction Conditions Using Transition Metal-Dinitrogen Complexes.
abstract: This paper presents recent progress in catalytic transformation of molecular dinitrogen into ammonia or its equivalents, such as silylamine, especially using transition metal-dinitrogen complexes under ambient reaction conditions. Several catalytic systems have been recently established using molybdenum-, iron-, and cobalt-dinitrogen complexes or their precursors as catalysts, providing new approaches to the development of novel nitrogen fixation under ambient reaction conditions.
