| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We tried to develop ammonia formation from molecular dinitrogen and water under mild reaction conditions based on our previous finding on the catalytic formation of ammonia from molecular dinitrogen by using transition metal-dinitrogen complexes as catalysts.
At first, we investigated the catalytic oxidation of water by using photo-induced catalysts in details. Then, we applied the catalytic oxidation of water to the catalytic formation of ammonia from molecular dinitrogen. As a result, we found only a stoichiometric amount of ammonia from the reaction of molecular dinitrogen with water in the presence of a catalytic amount of the catalysts under ambient reaction conditions. However, further study is necessary to achieve the catalytic formation of ammonia from molecular dinitrogen and water under mild reaction conditions.
