About 20% of the ammonia production provides the chemical feedstock for nitrogen containing chemicals. However, while synthetic nitrogen fixation at ambient conditions faced some groundbreaking contributions in recent ...

Low-valent osmium nitrides are discussed as intermediates in nitrogen fixation schemes. However, rational synthetic routes that lead to isolable examples are currently unknown. Here, the synthesis of the squareplanar osmium(IV) ...

Reduction of the pincer complex [OsIIICl2(PNP)] (PNP = N(CHCHPtBu2)2) affords the isolation and full characterization of an osmium(II) complex with square-planar coordination geometry, i.e. [OsIICl(PNP)]. Spectroscopic, ...
