Observing C-N bond formation in plasma: a case study of benzene and dinitrogen coupling via an arylnitrenium ion intermediate Directly fixing dinitrogen into value-added organics is one of the core issues yet a long-standing challenge in chemical synthesis. In earlier discrete studies, direct amination of benzene with N2 has been achieved via non-thermal plasma-liquid reaction.
