In presence of the homogenous Rh/Cr/I catalyst system methyl formate can be isomerized to acetic acid under CO-pressure with high conversion rates and excellent selectivity. This catalyst system has never been applied before for this reaction.
## Abstract This Microreview focuses on the recently developed hydrogenation of CO~2~ and hydrogen carbonate catalyzed by halfโsandwich complexes with 4,4โฒโdihydroxyโ2,2โฒโbipyridine (dhbp) and 4,7โdihydroxyโ1,10โphenanthroline (dhpt). An unprecedented high catalytic activity and reusability of the
