Metal‐Free Nitrogen Fixation at Boron

Metal‐Free Nitrogen Fixation at Boron

No metal needed: Boron does the job! The activation of the inert dinitrogen molecule has fascinated chemists for ages. In a ground‐breaking study Braunschweig and co‐workers have now demonstrated that N2 activation can be achieved with the aid of the p‐block element boron—a reactivity previously res...

Zusammenfassung:No metal needed: Boron does the job! The activation of the inert dinitrogen molecule has fascinated chemists for ages. In a ground‐breaking study Braunschweig and co‐workers have now demonstrated that N2 activation can be achieved with the aid of the p‐block element boron—a reactivity previously restricted to transition metals.
