Nitrogen is the atmosphere’s most abundant chemical, making up around 78% of air. The current method of utilizing atmospheric N₂ relies on the Haber-Bosch Process, which converts N₂ to ammonia using high pressure and heat with an iron catalyst. This process is energy intensive and is responsible for ~2% of global energy consumption. NH₃ electrosynthesis is a promising alternative due to its low energy consumption and near ambient conditions. Homogeneous catalysts are especially of interest as they offer site specific control of the e^-/H⁺ transfer steps. Because N₂ is a homonuclear diatomic molecule, there are several pathways for protonation. Mechanistic pathways such as distal, alternating, and hybrid protonation allow for production of specific products (NH₃ or N₂H₄). According to distal cycle, triple protonation of the distal N leads to release of NH₃ with a nitride intermediate. Alternating protonation can support production of N₂H₄ by donating protons to each N simultaneously, preserving the N-N bond in the early proton coupled electron transfers. Several transition metal complexes with triamidoamine ligands, diamido(pyridine) pincer ligands, tris(phosphino)borane ligands, and others have been shown to catalytically reduce N₂ to NH₃ and/or N₂H₄. This literature seminar hopes to provide insight into the design and mechanisms of electrochemical N₂RR catalysts, focusing on production of both NH₃ and N₂H₄.
