Chapter Title:
Reduction of CO 2 to CO and Their Applications

Summary:
In the following section, the direct reduction of gaseous CO2 to CO will be discussed with particular focus on examples demonstrating its application in ensuing reactions. First, the metal-mediated reverse water–gas shift reaction (RWGSR) will be introduced and its utilization in tandem hydroformylation, hydrocarboxylation, hydroalkoxylation, and hydroaminomethylation reactions for the synthesis of aldehydes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and amines, from olefins. Second, the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reduction of CO2 and its application in carbonylation chemistry will be discussed, including their advantages and limitations. Finally, the stoichiometric utilization of chemical reductants, containing either boron or silicon, and their application in the, comparatively, mild conversion of CO2 to CO will be examined.

New Year, New Leader

Ainara Nova (UiO) will now be leading NordCO2, replacing Kathrin Hopmann (UiT). They have been co-leading during 2020 for the smoothest of transitions 😎

Thanks to Kathrin for her efforts and Congratulations to Ainara 👏 👏
