Abstract
A practical method for ammonia synthesis is described. The reaction of atmospheric pressure of nitrogen gas with samarium diiodide as a reducing reagent and water as a proton source in the presence of a catalytic amount of a molybdenum trichloride complex bearing a PCP [1,3-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)benzimidazol-2-ylidene]-type pincer ligand occurs under ambient conditions to afford ammonium sulfate after treatment with sulfuric acid.
