Synthesis and Reactivity of Iron– and Cobalt–Dinitrogen Complexes Bearing PSiP-Type Pincer Ligands toward Nitrogen Fixation

Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the Nishibayashi group, University of Tokyo, collaborating with the Iwasawa group, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. The cover image shows the transformation of molecular dinitrogen into silylamine as ammonia equivalent, catalyzed by Fe– and Co–dinitrogen complexes bearing PSiP-type pincer ligands.

Fe– and Co–dinitrogen complexes bearing PSiP-type pincer ligands are found to work effectively as catalysts for the formation of silylamine from molecular dinitrogen under ambient reaction conditions…
