N 2 , can do : Converting the refractory molecule N 2 into synthetic chemicals is thermodynamically preferred when the derivatizing reactant is a “high‐energy molecule”, one with a positive enthalpy of formation. Alkynes and allenes are thus targeted for this purpose (see scheme), and a range of likely products are identified, especially those with NN bonds, including bipyrroles.
