Abstract

A new class of catalysts based on ternary ruthenium complex hydrides are developed for low-temperature ammonia synthesis. They support a non-dissociative reaction path for dinitrogen reduction, in which lithium or barium cations stabilize the N_xH_y intermediates and the electron- and H-rich [RuH₆]^4– anionic centres facilitate an energetically balanced multi-step reaction for ammonia synthesis.
