Rocking chair enzyme: Chemical reducing agents (sodium dithionite) or bioglycerol (as H and e−‐donor under irradiation in the presence of ZnS‐A as photocatalyst) are able to back‐convert NADP+ into NADPH, which is used as e−‐donor in the enzymatic reduction of CO2 into CH3OH. In doing so, the molar ratio CH3OH/CO2 has been increased (without recycling of NADP+) using the photocatalyst.
Aqueous glycerol was used as the hydrogen source for the reduction of CO(2) to the hydrogen carrier formic acid in the presence of the catalyst [RuCl(2)(PPh(3))(3)]. All intermediates were identified and characterized. Glycerol was converted into glycolic acid, HO-CH(2)-COOH, that was identified by using (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
