Metal–Metal vs Metal–Ligand Cooperation in Iron-Mediated Activation and Catalytic Reduction of Nitrous Oxide and Nitrobenzene

Chem. Sci., 2026, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5SC07656K, Edge Article Nadir Jori, Helena Corona, Enrique Soto, Israel Fernandez, Jesús Campos There is increasing interest in developing catalysts for transforming nitrous oxide (N2O), though systems based on Earth-abundant metals are limited. We report the synthesis of [FeII(depe)(Cp*)N2][BArF] (2; depe = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)-ethane;...
