Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2xvnb943" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />The oxides of nitrogen (chiefly NO, NO₃⁻, NO₂⁻ and N₂O) are key components of the natural nitrogen cycle and are intermediates in a range of processes of enormous biological, environmental and industrial importance. In this Tutorial Review, we will examine catalysts for the inter-conversions of the various nitrogen oxides that are based on metal–ligand coordination complexes, looking in particular at more recent examples that take inspiration from the natural systems.</p> </abstract>
