Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and organic phosphines are cocatalysts of the nitrogen reduction by sodium amalgam in which polynuclear molybdenum complexes serve as catalysts. PVA and PC are adsorbed on the amalgam surface and involve catalytic complexes, thus facilitating their contact with a reducing agent. Phosphines retard the decay of the catalytic centers in the course of the reaction, thus increasing the yield of the reduction products.
