Abstract
In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Arnold and co-workers describe Lewis acidic f- and d-block metal complexes that are catalysts for the conversion of N2 into secondary and tertiary amines. The origins of the remarkable selectivity and tunability of product formation are discussed in relation to molecular structure.
