Ammonia (NH3) and water (H2O) are ubiquitous small molecules that represent one of the pillars from which life on Earth sustains. Due to their widespread presence, they have been identified as energy units or economic building blocks en route to high-value compounds. 2 However, their chemical manipulation is non-trivial, as a result of the high bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of their N-H and O-H bonds (BDFEO-H in H2O = 113.0 kcal•mol -1 ; BDFEN-H in NH3 = 100.3 kcal•mol -1 ). Indeed, the majority of the approaches towards X-H cleavage focus on polar pathways; for example, both d-and p-block elements undergo oxidative addition 4 or deprotonation through metal-ligand cooperation 4c, 5 using the two-electrons of the respective d-and p-orbitals (Fig. ). More recently, the activation of the X-H bond through radical pathways has become feasible, albeit comparatively less examples are known. Although s-block elements can activate X-H bond through single-electron transfer (SET), milder strategies capitalizing on the concept of coordination-induced bond weakening have recently arisen (Fig. ). Examples of this reactivity are found in biology, catalysis, 9 coordination chemistry 7a or ammonia synthesis. Yet, such reactivity is largely dominated by transition metals, and examples dealing with main group elements remain rare. For example, a germanium corrole complex (group 14) has been reported to activate N-H and O-H bonds under UV light and in the presence of a large excess of organic substrate. Without irradiation, low yields were obtained at higher temperatures and extended reactions times. In the group 13, boron-containing compounds have been shown to lower the BDFE of E-H, including H2O and NH3. 11b-e Despite these examples, complexes based on group 15 elements that enable selective, fast, and mild radical activation of O-H and N-H bonds through coordination-induced bond weakening properties are still elusive.
