ABSTRACT
Dinitrogen (N2) is the major component of the atmosphere and many factors bring about dinitrogen inertness with low reactivity. Dinitrogen activation on metal complexes and clusters under ambient condition is the long-standing goal in the modern chemistry. In this review, an attempt has been made to survey the mechanistic aspects of dinitrogen activation and functionalization based on different coordination binding modes of dinitrogen. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive survey of dinitrogen activation in order to guide the relevant research in the future.
