Book cover Transformation of Carbon Dioxide to Formic Acid and Methanol

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((GREENCHEMIST))

Abstract

Homogeneous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formic acid or formate has attracted much attention due to its high performance. Various metals including noble metals and nonprecious metals combined with different ligands have been investigated. The catalytic mechanism and catalyst design principle are described in detail. Recently developed CO2 hydroboration and hydrosilylation to formate are also covered.
