This paper describes our recent progress in catalytic nitrogen fixation by using transition metal-dinitrogen complexes as catalysts. Novel reaction systems for the catalytic transformation of molecular dinitrogen into ammonia and hydrazine undermild reaction conditions have been achieved by the molybdenum-, iron-, cobalt-, and vanadium-dinitrogen complexes as catalysts. New findings presented in this paper may provide a new approach to the development of economical nitrogen fixation in place of energy-consuming Haber-Bosch process.
