The reaction can also handle coupling partners that don’t work as well with other cross-couplings, such as nitrogen-containing rings. And it works with anilines and aryl boronates, which can be used ...

Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making its ...

Now aryl halide cross-couplings mediated by sodium ... in host–guest recognition and chiral sensing, but the current synthesis of these compounds via asymmetric catalysis remains challenging.

Breakthrough in N2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation. By harnessing ...
