DBU as base and ligand in phosphine-free ruthenium complexes for hydrogenation of CO<sub>2</sub>
In the presence of DBU base, ruthenium piano stool complexes catalyze the hydrogenation of CO<sub>2</sub> to formate at room temperature without phosphine ligands. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies reveal the active catalyst is formed by binding DBU as a ligand.
