Catalytic CO2 Hydrogenation to Formate by a Ruthenium Pincer Complex

Abstract: This paper reports the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formate catalyzed by the Ru pincer complex Ru(PNN)CO(H) (PNN = 6-(di-tert-butylphosphinomethylene)-2-(N,N-diethylaminomethyl)-1,6-dihydropyridine). Stoichiometric studies are presented that support the feasibility of the individual steps in a proposed catalytic cycle for this transformation. The influence of base and solvent on catalyst performance is explored. Overall, under optimized conditions (using diglyme as the solvent and potassium carbonate as … Show more

“…One recent example of this reversibility is the publication by Sanford et al which makes use of a PNN ruthenium-pincer complex to hydrogenate carbon dioxide in the presence of a base. High turnover frequencies of > 2 200 h -1 were reported and the formic acid that was produced was shown to be able to be further modified in the presence of methanol to form methyl formate; this could subsequently be hydrogenated to give two equivalents of methanol [99]. Alternative methods for carbon dioxide hydrogenation include the use of aryl ruthenium complexes such as that reported by Byers and co-workers [100].…”

“…Sanford and co-workers subjected our catalyst (2) for highly efficient catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 to formate salts [97] and displays similar activity to known Nozaki's Ir(III) pincer catalyst 27 (TON ¼ 3,500,000 and TOF ¼ 150,000 h À1 for CO 2 to HC(O)OK) [98,99]. Heating a diglyme solution of complex 2, base (K 2 CO 3 ), carbon dioxide, and hydrogen resulted in the formation of potassium formate with excellent TON of 23,000 and TOF of up to 2,200 h À1 .…”

“…The hydrogenation of CO 2 can produce more useful fuels and chemicals. Currently, the products of CO 2 hydrogenation being researched include carbon monoxide, methane, methanol, ethanol or higher alcohol, hydrocarbons, dimethyl ether, formic acid, formates, and formamides [8][9][10][11]. Some of these products can be used as fuels in internal combustion engines and as raw materials and intermediates in many chemical industries.…”
