This project aims to develop a range of complexes based around earth abundant metals that are capable of activating nitrogen (N2) at ambient pressure and temperature. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of organometallic chemistry, specifically with regards to molecular metal-metal bonding and subsequent reactivity towards the activation of nitrogen. The activation of atmospheric nitrogen is performed on a multi-million tonne scale each year and is key to a number of industrial processes. As such, investigations into new and improved catalysts for this process would potentially bring huge financial benefits to industry, as well as benefiting the environment by reducing energy demand and associated climate change.

该项目旨在开发一系列基于地球丰富金属的复合物，这些复合物能够在环境压力和温度下激活氮气（N2）。该项目希望在有机金属化学领域产生新的知识，特别是在分子金属-金属键和随后的氮活化反应性方面。大气氮的活化每年以数百万吨的规模进行，是许多工业过程的关键。因此，对这一过程的新型和改进催化剂的研究可能会给工业带来巨大的经济效益，并通过减少能源需求和相关的气候变化对环境有益。
