Key Points

The aim is to compare metal-metal and metal-ligand interactions in catalyzing the reduction of nitrous oxide and nitrobenzene using iron-based systems.
Synthesis of iron complexes with depe ligand
Characterization using spectroscopic methods
Evaluation of catalytic performance in nitrous oxide and nitrobenzene reduction
Iron-based catalysts effectively reduced nitrous oxide and nitrobenzene
Metal-ligand cooperation showed enhanced catalytic activity
Sustainability of using Earth-abundant metals was highlighted

Implication

Demonstrates iron-mediated catalytic reduction of nitrous oxide and nitrobenzene, indicating potential for sustainable catalysts.

Abstract

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;...
