✦ Synopsis


In recent years, carbon dioxide has attracted increasing attention as raw material for chemical syntheses. The chemically inert carbon dioxide can be activated by homogeneous transition metal complex catalysts. This permits a number of various syntheses which, however, are only profitable if the catalyst separation and recycling can be carried out completely and simply. The development of process concepts for the syntheses of formic acid and dimethylformamide by the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide are presented here.
