Hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol is one of the most attractive ways for carbon dioxide recycle and hydrogen storage. Our computationally designed Fe, Co, and Mn cyclopentadienone complexes are promising low-cost catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Density functional theory calculations also reveal a methanol- or water-mediated proton-transfer mechanism for H2 cleavage and a direct C−O bond-breaking process for the formation of formaldehyde as key steps in the catalytic reaction. More information can be found in the Full Paper by X. Yang et al. on page 8850.
