| Research Abstract |
We have examined the chemical reduction of glucose with hydrosilanes using B(C6F5)3 as a homogeneous catalyst. NMR tube reactions indicate the formation of dihydrogen and siloxane materials, together with a mixture of reduced carbon compounds. We have synthesized new cationic zirconium species supported by the bulky aryloxide ligands, which show excellent catalytic activities toward CO2 reduction using various hydrosilanes as reducing agents under mild conditions.
