Water-soluble complexes of Mo(III) and Ti(III) ions with pyrocatechol (PC) catalyze the electrochemical reduction of a series of unsaturated compounds (CO, CO/sub 2/, CN, MeCN, and acetylene) to form CH/sub 4/. This paper studies the reduction of nitrogen in this system. The experimental set up is described. In contrast to nitrogen fixation of complex hydroxide systems also containing Ti(III) and Mo(III) ions, preliminary data indicate that soluble clusters, which may be reversible reduced, are formd in this system. This permits a detailed study of the reaction mechanism.
