Abiological nitrogen fixation using homogeneous catalysts
open-in-new
<p>Abiological nitrogen fixation describes chemical processes that fix (react with) N2, usually with the goal of generating <a href="/facts/Ammonia/MtLtJFtz">ammonia</a>. The dominant technology for abiological <a href="/facts/Nitrogen_fixation/TeLoBpWS">nitrogen fixation</a> is the <a href="/facts/Haber_process/DMlVT2WP">Haber process</a>, which uses iron-based <a href="/facts/Heterogeneous_catalyst/ju7E0bab">heterogeneous catalysts</a> and H2 to convert N2 to NH3. This article focuses on homogeneous (soluble) catalysts for the same or similar conversions. </p>
