Boron-mediated activation of carbon dioxide

Efficient CO2 Insertion and Reduction Catalyzed by a Terminal Zinc Hydride Complex

“…[1] Reduction to the formic acid level is of particular interest, because it can also be used as fuel. [1] Reduction to the formic acid level is of particular interest, because it can also be used as fuel.…”

Selective Reduction of CO2 to a Formate Equivalent with Heterobimetallic Gold‐ ‐ ‐Copper Hydride Complexes

“…[19,20] Herein, we report the first examples of heterobimetallic complexes of the coinage metals containing three-center,two-electron CuÀHÀAu interactions (1·Au-3·Au). [22,23] Reactions of one equivalent of the fluorinated copper(I) b-diketiminate complexes 1·tol or 2·tol (tol = toluene) with [Au(H)(IPr)] in toluene at 25 8 8Cafforded complexes 1·Au and 2·Au in 89 and 92 %y ield, respectively.S imilarly, 3·Au was prepared from reaction of the phosphine-stabilized copper(I) complex 3·PPh 3 with the same gold(I) hydride complex.

Large CO2 uptake on a monolayer of CaO

“…Together with metal-organic framework based adsorbents [6][7][8][9] , low dimensional materials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes and boron nitride nanomaterials have attracted a lot of interest in recent years as promising materials for the capture of greenhouse gases (see Refs. [10][11][12][13][14] for reviews). Surface functionalization has already been shown to be an effective tool to enhance the carbon-uptake capacities of such low dimensional materials [15][16][17][18][19] .…”
