A highly active sulfur based pincer ruthenium catalyst for CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation
The synthesis of a new air-stable SPS pincer ligand that supports a Ru catalyst for CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation to formate is described. This rare S-donor based pincer system gives higher activity compared to related PNP supported Ru catalysts and is less dependent on Lewis acidic Li co-catalysts for achieving high turnover numbers. The SPS ligated Ru catalyst is also active for <i>N</i>-formylation of amines with CO<sub>2</sub>.
