The past decade has witnessed some remarkable advances in our appreciation of the
structural and reaction chemistry of the heavier alkaline earth (Ae= Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) elements …

The rise of CO2 concentrations in the environment due to anthropogenic activities results in
global warming and threatens the future of humanity and biodiversity. To address excessive …

The field of carbon dioxide reduction by homogeneous early transition complexes (groups 3–
7) is reviewed. Many reactions with CO 2 have been studied with late transition metal …

In this work, we report that organocatalyst 1-Bcat-2-PPh2–C6H4 ((1); cat= catechol) acts as
an ambiphilic metal-free system for the reduction of carbon dioxide in presence of …

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a crucial C1 building block for daily‐life commodities in a wide
range of industrial processes. Industrial production of HCHO today is based on energy‐and …

The formylation and methylation of amines with carbon dioxide and hydrosilanes are
emerging yet important types of transformations for CO2. Catalytic methods effective for both …

The full mechanism of the hydroboration of CO2 by the highly active ambiphilic
organocatalyst 1-Bcat-2-PPh2–C6H4 (Bcat= catecholboryl) was determined using …

Carbon dioxide is a very abundant molecule that is used as building block by nature. It
would be a sustainable resource for our carbon-based societies if we could emulate nature …

Over exploitation of natural resources and human activities are relentlessly fueling the
emission of CO2 in the atmosphere. Accordingly, continuous efforts are required to find …

Abstract Hydrophosphination of CO2 with 1, 3, 2‐Diazaphospholene (NHP‐H; 1) afforded
phosphorus formate (NHP‐OCOH; 2) through the formation of a bond between the …
