Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The single and double</bold> NH bond activation of ammonia is described by H. Schwarz and co‐workers in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 9513 ff.</ext-link> They show that if [Al₂O₃]^.+ is allowed to take a bath in ammonia, the problem of the room‐temperature generation of nitrene is solved—single hydrogen‐atom transfer and double hydrogen abstraction occur, and NH₂ and NH bubble like an aspirin pill in water. Mass spectrometric and theoretical investigations confirm these results.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36k0vjgd" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
