HOMOGENEOUS CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION

Harmonious hydrogenation catalysts

Nature Catalysis volume 1, pages 739–740 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Development of an earth-abundant and inexpensive copper-based catalyst is desirable for CO2 hydrogenation. Now, the combined application of a stable copper hydride and a Lewis pair is shown to effect activation of CO2 as well as heterolysis of H2, achieving significant turnover numbers.
