Abstract

Simply efficient: The homogenously catalyzed hydrogenation of CO₂ to methanol is achieved by using a ruthenium phosphine complex under relatively mild conditions (see scheme; HNTf₂=bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide). This is the first example of CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol by using a single molecularly defined catalyst.
