Abstract

The reduction of nitrogen oxides (N_xO_yⁿ⁻) to dinitrogen gas by samarium(II) iodide is reported. The polyoxoanions nitrate (NO₃⁻) and nitrite (NO₂⁻), as well as nitrous oxide (N₂O) and nitric oxide (NO) were all shown to react with stoichiometric amounts of SmI₂ in THF for the complete denitrification to N₂.
