Aqueous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide catalysed by water-soluble ruthenium aqua complexes under acidic conditions

Abstract

Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (P(H2/CO2) = 5.5/2.5 MPa) into formic acid (HCOOH) under acidic conditions (pH 2.5–5.0) in water has been achieved by using water-soluble ruthenium aqua catalysts [(η6-C6Me6)RuII(L)(OH2)]SO4 (L = 2,2′-bipyridine or 4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine).
