Transition Metal Complexes for Dinitrogen Coordination and Activation

This article reviews developments from the primary literature in transition metal complexes of dinitrogen, starting with results from the year 2003, for mid-to-late transition metals (i.e., Groups 6–11). Sections are grouped by metal, with subsections organized by ligand type. Selected examples are highlighted when N2 activation and/or functionalization outcomes are noteworthy. Trends in N2 activation are provided in several of the groups that are discussed.
