Fixation and Activation of Small Molecules by Newly Synthesized Complexes

The synthesis of new complexes to capture and activate smaller molecules equipped with oxygenase and nitrogenase functions in the biological system is under way. Particularly, the means for direct effective utilization of atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen through the isolation and activation is being sought for.
