Abstract
Despite the plethora of metal catalyzed reactions for CO2 utilization that have been developed in academic laboratories, practical systems remain elusive. The understanding of the elementary steps in catalysis is a proven method to improve catalytic performance. In many catalytic cycles for CO2 utilization, the insertion of CO2 into a metal–element σ-bond, such as hydrides, alkyls, amides, or hydroxides, is a crucial step. However, despite the many demonstrations of CO2 insertion, there are a paucity of kinetic studies, and information about the reaction mechanism has been predominantly elucidated from computational investigations. In this Account, kinetic studies on CO2 insertion into late transition metal–element σ-bonds performed by my group are summarized, along with their implications for catalysis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
