Chemists have uncovered a way to sever two of the strongest bonds in chemistry - in dinitrogen (N2) and carbon monoxide (CO) - and make useful organic compounds. The process works through a hafnium complex - and is an important step towards developing ways to produce important chemicals from abundant gas feedstocks.   More...
