“…Transition metal (TM) compounds are widely used as catalyst for a long history in nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) . The electrons from the occupied σ bond of N 2 overlap with the empty d orbital of TM, and the occupied d orbital of TM overlaps with the empty π * bond of N 2 , resulting in the injection of electron to the antibonding π * bond of N 2 and activation of N 2 through the π bond back‐donation mechanism.…”

Ammonia synthesis through electrochemical reduction of nitrogen molecules is a promising strategy to significantly reduce the energy consumption in traditional industrial process. Detailed mechanism study of multistep complex nitrogen reduction reaction is prerequisite for the design of highly efficient catalyst. Stable atomically dispersed catalyst with unique geometric and electronic structure is suitable for the mechanism clarification of such a complex reaction. In this study, d‐block transition‐metal (TM) anchored C2N single layer catalyst is investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Both single TM‐anchored single atom catalyst (SAC) and double TM‐anchored double atom catalyst (DAC) exhibit good thermodynamic stability in atomically dispersed catalyst. In the case of SACs, IVB metals (Ti, Zr, Hf) exhibit the highest reactivity and lowest overpotential. While in the case of DACs, Cr─Cr system leads to the NH3 formation, but V─V system leads to the N2H4 formation. The SACs show much lower overpotential and stronger activation of N2 molecule than the DACs due to the different activation mechanisms: traditional σ‐donation/π‐backdonation N2 activation mechanism is found in SACs, while a new π‐donation/π‐backdonation N2 activation mechanism is found in the DACs. The present work demonstrates that the different catalytic effect for NRR between SAC and DAC and their corresponding electronic structure origin, which gives more insight into the single atom catalyst.

“…Already in 2007, Leitner explored the potential of pincer complexes of Fe, Ru, and Os as active species for the production of ammonia from N 2 and H 2 [653]. Tuczek [654], Nishibayashi [655][656][657][658], Fryzuk [659], and many other authors have reviewed this topic in depth [660][661][662][663][664][665][666][667], with pincer-type ligation being widely employed in the proposed methods.…”

Our planet urgently needs sustainable solutions to alleviate the anthropogenic global warming and climate change. Homogeneous catalysis has the potential to play a fundamental role in this process, providing novel, efficient, and at the same time eco-friendly routes for both chemicals and energy production. In particular, pincer-type ligation shows promising properties in terms of long-term stability and selectivity, as well as allowing for mild reaction conditions and low catalyst loading. Indeed, pincer complexes have been applied to a plethora of sustainable chemical processes, such as hydrogen release, CO2 capture and conversion, N2 fixation, and biomass valorization for the synthesis of high-value chemicals and fuels. In this work, we show the main advances of the last five years in the use of pincer transition metal complexes in key catalytic processes aiming for a more sustainable chemical and energy production.
