- “Noble” transition metals (e.g. Rh, Pd) used in homogeneous catalysis in industrial processes effect bond cleavage through oxidative addition. This requires an increase in the metal oxidation state of two units. The absence of suitable oxidation states in sustainable metals has limited their application in catalysis. This publication is significant as it reports a mechanism for bond cleavage that circumvents the requirement for a change in oxidation state and uses this to prepare an efficient and selective catalyst for the reduction of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) to a methanol derivative.
