The synthesis of ammonia from dinitrogen is a vital reaction. Now, ligands prepared based on density functional theory calculations are used with a molybdenum trichloride complex for the production of up to 60,000 equiv. ammonia based on the catalyst, with a molybdenum turnover frequency of 800 equiv. min−1.
