Nitrogen gas (N 2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making its ...

Sulfonic azo compounds in wastewater can hinder the plant photosynthesis through interfering with sunlight transmission, affect the growth of aquatic organisms by destroying the ecological environment ...

Solid-phase synthesis of azo compounds exploits polymer-supported platforms to assemble nitrogen–nitrogen double bonds on a resin bead, streamlining purification and enabling rapid generation of ...

Photocatalytic reactions, which unlock chemical transformations under mild conditions that are unavailable to conventional ground-state pathways, can save energy consumption and improve intrinsic ...

A data-storage system based on a new azo compound could increase the memory capacity of future electronic devices. Most electronic memory systems use binary data storage, in which data are recorded as ...

Breakthrough in N 2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N 2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation. By ...
