Oxidation of NH3 to N2 by pentapyridyl metal complexes via hydrogen atom abstraction was investigated computationally. Quantum chemical analysis reveals insights on orbital symmetry requirements for efficient NH3 oxidation. The most promising complex, [(PY5)Mo(NH3)]2+, was studied experimentally. It shows conversion of NH3 to N2 upon treatment with 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxyl radical.
通过计算研究了五吡啶基金属配合物通过氢原子提取将NH₃氧化为N₂的过程。量子化学分析揭示了高效NH₃氧化对轨道对称性要求的见解。对最有前景的配合物[(PY5)Mo(NH₃)]²⁺进行了实验研究。在用2,4,6-三叔丁基苯氧基自由基处理后,它显示出NH₃向N₂的转化。
