Early transition metals are well known to catalyze the cleavage and functionalization of N2 . In this Highlight, recent work showing that a rhenium catalyst is also capable of carrying out this difficult task is summarized, and a synthetic cycle for the stoichiometric incorporation of atmospheric N2 into acetonitrile is presented.
