New carbene complexes for catalytic reduction chemistry

使用可持续还原剂如二氢催化还原不饱和化合物是在制药、化学和材料工业中广泛使用的过程。这一过程依赖于高效和耐用的催化剂。例如，在催化剂的存在下，使用二氢将二氮还原成氨是最重要的工业过程之一，该过程用于全世界的肥料生产。使用二氢将二氧化碳还原为各种增值有机化合物是另一类非常重要的化学转化，这与碳循环，可持续能源和气候变化有关。拟议的工作涉及开发活性和耐用的催化剂，用于使用可持续的还原剂（如二氢）将二氧化碳和其他化合物还原为增值产品。

The catalytic reduction of unsaturated chemicals using sustainable reducing reagents such as dihydrogen is a widely used process in pharmaceutical, chemical, and materials industries. This process replies on highly efficient and robust catalysts. For example, the reduction of dinitrogen using dihydrogen into ammonia in the presence of a catalyst is one of the most important industrial processes, which feeds into the production of fertilizers worldwide. The reduction of carbon dioxide into various value-added organic compounds using dihydrogen is another class of highly important chemical transformations, which is relevant to carbon recycling, sustainable energy, and climate change. The proposed work is concerned with developing active and robust catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide and other compounds into value-added products using a sustainable reducing reagent such as dihydrogen.
