Solvent- and catalyst-free reduction of CO2 with ammonia borane

Andreas Züttel, Liping Zhong, Youngdon Ko

Ammonia borane (AB) has been extensively studied as a solid-state hydrogen storage material. On the other hand, its reactivity with CO2 is still unclear, especially in the solid state. By carefully controlling the CO2 pressure and temperature, AB efficient ...

The Photoisomerization Pathway(s) of Push‐Pull Phenylazoheteroarenes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi

Azoheteroarenes are the most recent derivatives targeted to further improve the properties of azo‐based photoswitches. Their light‐induced mechanism for trans‐cis isomerization is assumed to be very similar to that of the parent azobenzene. As such, they i ...

Methanol production from CO(2)via an integrated, formamide-assisted approach

Paul Joseph Dyson, Andreas Züttel, Loris Giovanni Lombardo, Aswin Gopakumar, Gunay Imanzade, Jorge Gustavo Uranga

The synthesis of fuels from CO2 has made tremendous progress in recent years, although practical applications remain limited. Herein, we describe a cyclic process that produces MeOH from CO(2)via formamide intermediates, which are initially reduced using N ...

New insights into the effect of nitrogen incorporation in Mo: catalytic hydrogenation vs. hydrogenolysis

Lioubov Kiwi, Daniel André Samuel Lamey

The catalytic effect of nitrogen incorporation into Mo on hydrogenation (of -NO2 to -NH2 in nitrobenzene to aniline) and hydrogenolysis (of -C?O in benzaldehyde to toluene) processes has been assessed. Bulk Mo was prepared by temperature programmed reducti ...

The dilemma between acid and base catalysis in the synthesis of benzimidazole from o-phenylenediamine and carbon dioxide

Paul Joseph Dyson, Simon Nussbaum, Martin Hulla, Alexy Robert Bonnin

The tandem synthesis of benzimidazole and other azoles can be achived by the N-formylation of ortho-substituted anilines followed by a cyclization reaction. However, CO2-based N-formylations with hydrosilane reducing agents are base catalyzed whereas the c ...
