چکیده
The labile germylene hydride L(Cy)GeH is capable of activating CO2 affording the corresponding formate L(Cy)GeOCH([double bond, length as m-dash]O) (2) (L(Cy) = cyclo-C6H8-1-NAr-2-C(Ph)NAr, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3). Compound and the previously reported LGeOCH([double bond, length as m-dash]O) (L = CH(MeC[double bond, length as m-dash]NAr)2, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) (2) could be further converted to methanol with the AlH3 · NMe3 alane-amine adduct as a hydrogen source upon workup with water. A plausible mechanism for the conversion of the formate complexes to methanol is proposed based on additional results from the conversion of with the milder hydride delivery agent LAlH2.

Electrochemical Reduction of Aqueous Imidazolium on Pt(111) by Proton Coupled Electron Transfer
Recent electrochemical studies have reported aqueous CO2 reduction to formic acid, formaldehyde and methanol at potentials of ca. -600 mV versus SCE, when using a Pt working electrode in acidic pyridine solutions. In those experiments, pyridinium is thought to function as a one-electron shuttle for the underlying multielectron reduction of CO2. DFT studies proposed that the critical step of the...

Bond-Order Conservation-Morse Potential (BOC-MP) method is used to carry out the calculationon the CO2+ H20 system. One of the best catalysts for methanol synthesis in catalytic reductionof CO2 with H2O is Cu/ZnO/A1203 whose surface is supported by with some amount of Pd orGa. Reduction of CO2 with H20 on Cu will result in methanol formation; while on Ni will lead tomethane formation. In the me...
متن کاملMechanistic studies of pyridinium electrochemistry: alternative chemical pathways in the presence of CO2.
Protonated heterocyclic amines, such as pyridinium, have been utilized as catalysts in the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide. While these represent a new and exciting class of electrocatalysts, the details of the mechanism and faradaic processes occurring in solution are unclear. We report a series of cyclic voltammetry experiments involving Pt, Ag, Au, and Cu electrodes, under both ...
