Oxidation of Ammonia with Molecular Complexes.

Oxidation of ammonia by molecular complexes is a burgeon-ing area of research, with critical scientific challenges that must be addressed. A fundamental understanding of individu-al reactions steps is needed, particularly for cleavage of N-H bonds and formation of N-N bonds. This perspective evaluates the challenges of designing molecular catalysts for oxidation of ammonia, and highlights recent key contributions to realiz-ing the goals of viable energy storage and retrieval based on the N-H bonds of ammonia in a carbon-free energy cycle.
