Transition metal-like carbocatalyst

Metal-free catalysts can offer uniquely different activity and selectivity from transition metal-based counterparts. Here, the authors report metal-free nitrogen-assembly carbon with closely-placed nitrogen as active sites, achieving catalytic cleavage of strong bonds including H-H, C-O and C-H.
