Defying thermodynamics to synthetize hydrazine

Defying thermodynamics to synthetize hydrazine
Pablo Garrido-Barros, Ignacio Funes-Ardoiz
Selective electrochemical oxidation of ammonia provides an ideal pathway to synthesize hydrazine, but this process is outcompeted by a more favourable overoxidation to N2. A molecular ruthenium catalyst has now flipped the script, circumventing the thermodynamic challenges to selectively generate hydrazine.
