New frustrated Lewis pair systems for the activation and functionalisation of dinitrogen

During this internship, my goal is to create a dinitrogen molecule that fits into the frustrated Lewis pair model. This molecule will be used to replace currently existing polluting fertilizers.
To achieve this goal, the internship is divided into three steps:
-The first consists of synthesizing a molecule containing N2.
-Next, we will try to study the coordination of the first molecule onto a second molecule containing a borane atom.
-Finally, it is important to verify that the molecule obtained after the second part of the “experiment” corresponds to a frustrated lewis pair model. Thereby, obtaining the desired result.
