The conversion of the ubiquitous greenhouse gas CO2to valuable organic products is much sought after. Herein, the hydrogenation of CO2to C1 products with an 80% yield in water is reported using a novel catalyst, porous-silica-supported Au nanoparticles (Au/SiO2). In the presence of a Lewis acid, boric acid, the Au/SiO2catalyst enables an efficient conversion of amine-captured CO2to methanol, formate, and formamide. A mechanistic study involving isotopic labelling suggests that methanol production in the catalytic process arises from the direct hydrogenation of formate. Most importantly, this one-pot, two-step process is able to convert CO2in air at ambient pressures to C1 products in the absence of an organic solvent. Furthermore, the catalyst is readily recycled without further purification or reactivation and shows no significant decrease in catalytic activity after four reaction cycles in a reusability test.

We report the first example of zinc-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides with formamide as the cyanogen source. The transformation was promoted by the bisphosphine Nixantphos ligand. Under optimized conditions, a variety of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing aryl iodides were converted into nitrile products in good to excellent yields. This approach is an exceedingly simple and benign method for the synthesis of aryl nitriles and is likely to proceed via a dinuclear Zn-concerted catalysis.

Molecular catalyst-based direct hydrogenation of bicarbonate to formate in aqueous medium is a challenging research topic for the H2 storage. Finding a green and effective method for the bicarbonate to formate conversion with non-precious metal-based catalyst is vital to the practical application. We report the direct hydrogenation of bicarbonate to formate using a water soluble nickel-azatrane complex. Catalysts 1–5, designed and synthesized, were screened for the hydrogenation of bicarbonate to formate in aqueous medium; the best TON of 121 was obtained for catalyst 4 at 120 °C (60 bar). Introduction of isopropyl (2) and methyl (3 and 4) groups in the coordination environment of the metal center enhances the production of formate. Further, the hydrogenation of bicarbonate with CO2 promoted the formate production for catalyst 4 with a TON of 92 (3 h). The use of green solvent and non-precious metal catalyst makes this catalytic method environmentally sustainable.

Novel PCIIP-IrI monochloride complexes (1-Cl and 2-Cl) bearing a phosphine-carbene-phosphine pincer type ligand were synthesized. Reactions of 1-Cl with hexachloroethane, hydrogen chloride, and lithium triethylborohydride under a dihydrogen atmosphere afforded PCIIP-IrIII trichloride (1-Cl3), hydride dichloride (1-HCl2), and trihydride (1-H3) complexes, respectively. The strong electron-donating ability of carbene in PCIIP-Ir complexes was confirmed by X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations. Moreover, in complex 1-Cl, strong π back-donation from the iridium center to the carbene carbon was observed. Hydrogenation of CO2 with triethanolamine catalyzed by PCIIP-Ir complexes was investigated. The novel PCIIP-Ir complex 1-Cl exhibited a longer lifetime in comparison to the PNP-IrIII complex 3-H3: the turnover number of 1-Cl is significantly higher than that of 3-H3 (in 46 h, 1-Cl 230000 and 3-H3 54000).

An efficient unsupported nanoporous nickel (NiNPore) material for the hydrogenation of carbonates to formic acid (FA) in water was investigated for the first time. NiNPore is an environmentally benign catalyst and it exhibited remarkable catalytic activity in the reduction of a wide range of carbonates to afford formic acid in excellent yields with high selectivity, and maximum values of 86.6% from NaHCO3 and even up to 92.1% from KHCO3 were obtained. The hydrogen pressure and pKa of the carbonates had a significant influence on the formation of FA. The catalyst was easily recovered and could be recycled at least five times without leaching and loss of activity. The present study demonstrated a potential application for the synthesis of FA from CO2 or carbonate compounds.

Methoxy-substituted PNP-iridium(III) complexes and pyrazine-based PNP-iridium(III) complexes were developed and used to hydrogenate carbon dioxide in the presence of triethanolamine as a base. The methoxy-substituted PNP-hydridodichloridoiridium complex (C-HCl2) showed the highest turnover number, 160000; this is the highest value ever reported with an organic base in an aqueous medium. The reactivities of these complexes, derived from their ligand modification, were further studied. The results were as follows. (i) The pyrazine-based PNP-trihydridoiridium complex undergoes release of dihydrogen to afford dihydridoamido complex, possibly because of easy dearomatization of the pyrazine ring. This process was reversible, i.e., B-H2amido can readily be converted back to B-H3 on exposure to dihydrogen. (ii) The p-methoxy-substituted dihydridochlorido complex showed facile disproportionation of the chloride anion on the iridium center; this is attributed to the electron-donating nature of the methoxypyridine backbone.

Abstract A highly efficient, reversible hydrogen storage-evolution process has been developed based on the ammonium bicarbonate/formate redox equilibrium over the same carbon-supported palladium nanocatalyst. This heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogen storage system is comparable to the counterpart homogeneous systems and has shown fast reaction kinetics of both the hydrogenation of ammonium bicarbonate and the dehydrogenation of ammonium formate under mild operating conditions. By adjusting temperature and pressure, the extent of hydrogen storage and evolution can be well controlled in the same catalytic system. Moreover, the hydrogen storage system based on aqueous-phase ammonium formate is advantageous owing to its high volumetric energy density. Revolution of H2 evolution? A highly efficient hydrogen storage-evolution process has been developed based on the ammonium bicarbonate/formate redox equilibrium over a carbon-supported palladium nanocatalyst. Ammonium ion improves the efficiencies of both the hydrogenation of bicarbonate and the dehydrogenation of formate. By adjusting the reaction temperature and pressure, the extent of chemical reaction of hydrogen storage and evolution can be well controlled within the same catalytic system.

A sustainable economy is needed to recycle carbon rather than to irreversibly use stored carbon in fossil fuels. Instead of releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, its value can be recognized as a base C1 material for chemicals. In this study, a new CO2 utilization strategy is developed via the hydrogenation of CO2 derived ammonium carbamates/carbonates, which are the intermediates in industrial urea production or carbon capture processes, to produce value-added formate chemicals. A high yield of formate, ～92%, was achieved after hydrogenating ammonium carbamates in the ethanol-water solution at room temperature with the carbon supported palladium nano-catalyst. The ethyl carbonate ions in the ammonium carbamate/carbonate solutions were speciated by 13C NMR and were attributed to the superior hydrogenation efficiency. Ammonium ions promote the formation of ethyl carbonate ions in the presence of ethanol. The solvent affects the distribution of the reactive intermediates.

The formate-based rechargeable hydrogen battery (RHB) promises high reversible capacity to meet the need for safe, reliable, and sustainable H2 storage used in fuel cell applications. Described herein is an additive-free RHB which is based on repetitive cycles operated between aqueous formate dehydrogenation (discharging) and bicarbonate hydrogenation (charging). Key to this truly efficient and durable H2 handling system is the use of highly strained Pd nanoparticles anchored on graphite oxide nanosheets as a robust and efficient solid catalyst, which can facilitate both the discharging and charging processes in a reversible and highly facile manner. Up to six repeated discharging/charging cycles can be performed without noticeable degradation in the storage capacity.
