- The Alkali Metal Salts of Methyl Xanthic Acid
-
Methyl xanthates of the type M(SSC-OMe) (M = Li–Cs) are readily formed when carbon disulfide is reacted with the corresponding alkali metal hydroxides in methanol exposed to air, or with the alkali metal methoxides in dry methanol or THF under exclusion of air. The reactions are easily monitored by 13C NMR spectroscopy. The Na, K, Rb, and Cs salt could be isolated in high yields, while the Li salt decomposed upon attempted isolation. All compounds are readily complexed by crown ethers and form isolable 1:1 adducts, including the elusive Li salt. All products were studied by NMR (1H, 13C, and alkali metal nuclei) and IR spectroscopy, and most of them where structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Li(SSC-OMe)(12c4) (12c4 = [12]crown-4) and Cs(SSC-OMe)(18c6) (18c6 = [18]crown-6) represent the first structurally characterized lithium and caesium xanthate complexes, respectively.

- A Carbon-Neutral CO2 Capture, Conversion, and Utilization Cycle with Low-Temperature Regeneration of Sodium Hydroxide
-
A highly efficient recyclable system for capture and subsequent conversion of CO2 to formate salts is reported that utilizes aqueous inorganic hydroxide solutions for CO2 capture along with homogeneous pincer catalysts for hydrogenation. The produced aqueous solutions of formate salts are directly utilized, without any purification, in a direct formate fuel cell to produce electricity and regenerate the hydroxide base, achieving an overall carbon-neutral cycle. The catalysts and organic solvent are recycled by employing a biphasic solvent system (2-MTHF/H2O) with no significant decrease in turnover frequency (TOF) over five cycles. Among different hydroxides, NaOH and KOH performed best in tandem CO2 capture and conversion due to their rapid rate of capture, high formate conversion yield, and high catalytic TOF to their corresponding formate salts. Among various catalysts, Ru- and Fe-based PNP complexes were the most active for hydrogenation. The extremely low vapor pressure, nontoxic nature, easy regenerability, and high reactivity of NaOH/KOH toward CO2 make them ideal for scrubbing CO2 even from low-concentration sources - such as ambient air - and converting it to value-added products.

- Novel Synthesis of Oxalate from Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide in the Presence of Caesium Carbonate
-
In the presence of caesium carbonate 1, the direct reaction of CO2 (110 atm) with CO (20 atm) results in reductive capture of CO2 to give caesium oxalate 2 in good yield at elevated temperature (380 deg C).
