Abstract
The first NHC-Cu-catalyzed decomposition of formic acid (FA) is reported. In the presence of PhSiH3, only hydrogen is generated while CO2 is captured by a silane species. The decomposition of an equimolar mixture of FA and an amine provided an equimolar mixture of H2 and CO2. The efficiency of the catalysis showed to be strongly dependent on the nature of the amine.
