In this invited review we address, from a mechanistic point of view, three fundamental
reactions of carbon dioxide transformation in the gas phase:(i) its reduction to carbon …

Metal nanoclusters with accurate compositions and precise crystalline structures hold
remarkable attention in serving as a unique model catalyst for well-defined correlations …

Mass spectrometric analysis of the anionic products of interaction between bimetallic
palladium–copper tetrahydride anions, PdCuH4–, and carbon dioxide, CO2, in a reaction …

The activation and functionalization of dinitrogen (N2) with carbon dioxide (CO2) are of great
interest and importance but highly challenging. We report here for the first time the reaction …

We describe a unique catalytic system with an efficient coupling of Ti‐and Cr‐catalysis in a
reaction network that allows the use of [BH4]− as stoichiometric hydrogen atom and electron …

Gas phase reactions between PtHn− cluster anions and CO2 were investigated by mass
spectrometry, anion photoelectron spectroscopy, and computations. Two major products …

Activation of CO2 is the first step towards its reduction to more useful chemicals. Here we
systematically investigate the CO2 activation mechanism on Cu3X (X is a first-row transition …

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide involves the activation of the thermodynamically very
stable molecule CO2 and formation of a C− H bond. Herein, we report that HCO2− and CO …

In this review, the history and outlook of gas-phase CO 2 activation using single electrons,
metal atoms, clusters (mainly metal hydride clusters), and molecules are discussed on both …

Activation of CO2 is demonstrated by its spontaneous dissociative reaction with the gas-
phase anion complex NUOCl2−, which can be considered as NUO+ coordinated by two …
