    Highly active and selective photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO using molecular-defined cyclopentadienone iron complexes
    (Cambridge : Soc., 2015) Rosas-Hernández, Alonso; Alsabeh, Pamela G.; Barsch, Enrico; Junge, Hernrik; Ludwig, Ralf; Beller, Matthias
    Herein, we report highly active (cyclopentadienone)iron–tricarbonyl complexes for CO2 photoreduction using visible light with an Ir complex as photosensitizer and TEOA as electron/proton donor. Turnover numbers (TON) of ca. 600 (1 h) with initial turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 22.2 min−1 were observed. Operando FTIR measurements allowed for the proposal of a plausible mechanism for catalyst activation.

    Towards a methanol economy based on homogeneous catalysis: methanol to H2 and CO2 to methanol
    (Cambridge : Soc., 2015) Alberico, E.; Nielsen, M.
    The possibility to implement both the exhaustive dehydrogenation of aqueous methanol to hydrogen and CO2 and the reverse reaction, the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and water, may pave the way to a methanol based economy as part of a promising renewable energy system. Recently, homogeneous catalytic systems have been reported which are able to promote either one or the other of the two reactions under mild conditions. Here, we review and discuss these developments.

    An 8-fold parallel reactor system for combinatorial catalysis research
    (New York : Hindawi, 2006) Stoll, N.; Allwardt, A.; Dingerdissen, U.; Thurow, K.
    Increasing economic globalization and mounting time and cost pressure on the development of new raw materials for the chemical industry as well as materials and environmental engineering constantly raise the demands on technologies to be used. Parallelization, miniaturization, and automation are the main concepts involved in increasing the rate of chemical and biological experimentation. Copyright © 2006 Norbert Stoll et al.
