Chemical Equilibria in Formic Acid/Amine-CO2 Cycles under Isochoric Conditions using a Ruthenium(II) 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane Catalyst

Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis, Matthias Beller

The equilibrium position in formic acid/amine–CO2 systems has been examined as a function of pressure and tem- perature under isochoric conditions. The homogeneous ruthe- nium(II)-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane catalyst was active in both reactions, that ...
