Abstract

The end of the metal age: Recent developments in small-molecule activation and chemical transformations of main-group species pose the question as to whether metal catalysts could be avoided altogether in the activation of dinitrogen. A ground-breaking study by Stephan and co-workers clearly implies that the metal-free activation of N2 with frustrated Lewis pairs may be achievable in the not-too-distant future.
