This paper is a corrigendum to the previously published paper (J. Organomet. Chem. 752 (2014) 44e58): “Lessons learned and lessons to
be learned for developing homogeneous transition metal complexes catalyzed reduction of N2 to ammonia”.
The authors regret to inform that the incorrect Scheme 8 has been published in the original article; therefore we would like to publish the
correct Scheme 8.
The correct Scheme 8 is shown below:
Scheme 8. Functionalization of dinitrogen into ammonia using iron catalyst and HCl.
Relevant to the Scheme 8, reaction with excess HCl indeed gives ammonium chloride in 82% yield, however does not give the hydride
complex. Nevertheless the bis-nitride complex does react with H2 to give the hydride complex, but no ammonia is produced in this reaction.
Therefore in conclusion, the nitride compound does react with H2 to give hydride, but not ammonia. The nitride compound reacts with acid
to give ammonia, but not hydride complex.
