Across the board: Jairton Dupont

Abstract

In this series of articles the board members of ChemSusChem discuss recent research articles that they consider of exceptional quality and importance for sustainability. This entry features Prof. Jairton Dupont, who discusses how recent works on fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of ruthenium and rhodium complexes and reaction conditions generates efficient homogeneous transition-metal catalysts for the transformation of CO2 under hydrogen pressure.

Keywords: carbon dioxide; homogeneous catalysis; rhodium; ruthenium; transition metals.
