Abstract
Recent significant progress in the homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to for-
mate (the conjugate base of formic acid) and dehydrogenation of formic acid in various
solvents including water is summarized. While formic acid is not the perfect H2 storage
solution, many researchers consider it better than other methods at this time because
the interconversion of CO2 and formic acid can take place cleanly to form H2 without
detectable CO under mild conditions. In this chapter, we explain how inspirations from
biological systems guide us to design homogeneous transition-metal catalysts for
carrying out the interconversion of CO2 and formate under ambient conditions in envi-
ronmentally benign and economically desirable water solvent.

1. INTRODUCTION
The capture and utilization of CO2 as fuels and chemicals are impor-
tant scientific projects in view of growing fear of depletion of fossil fuels and
global warming. The CO2 concentration levels in the atmosphere are dra-
matically rising owing primarily to the human activities of burning fossil
fuels and deforestation during the past 50 years, and have now reached
almost 400 ppm. Research in the fields of CO2 mitigation and utilization
has received significant attention; however, because CO2 is such a stable
molecule, there remain great chemical, physical, and engineering challenges
to convert CO2 into industrially important chemicals and fuels. Because
CO2 is the end product of hydrocarbon combustion (H2O is the coproduct),
energy is needed to convert it to fuels such as CO and formic acid (FA). CO2
can be reduced by photochemical methods (i.e., artificial photosynthesis),
electrochemical reduction using photovoltaic electricity, and thermal
hydrogenation using photoproduced hydrogen. While one-electron reduc-
tion of CO2 to CO2 is thermodynamically unfavorable (Equation 6.1),
multielectron proton-coupled reactions can take place at more positive
potentials (Equations 6.2 and 6.3):
CO2 þ e ! CO2 E 0 ¼ 1:90 V ð6:1Þ
þ 0
CO2 þ 2H þ 2e ! CO þ H2 O E ¼ 0:53 V ð6:2Þ
þ 0
CO2 þ 2H þ 2e ! HCO2 H E ¼ 0:61 V ð6:3Þ
Here, E0 (as opposed to Eo) is the formal potential versus the normal
hydrogen electrode (NHE) at standard conditions in aqueous solution at
25 C, 1 atm of gases, and 1 M solutes, but pH 7 instead of pH 0.
During the last 25 years, we have investigated the kinetics and mechanisms
of photochemical CO2 reduction using (1) metal macrocycles; (2)
Ru(bpy)2(CO)Xnþ (bpy ¼ 2,20 -bipyridine, X ¼ Cl, n ¼ 1; X ¼ CO, n ¼ 2);
and (3) Re(dmb)(CO)3Cl or [Re(dmb)(CO)3]2 (dmb ¼ 4,40 -dimethyl-2,20 -
bipyridine) under various conditions (1–8). However, the turnover frequency
(TOF) and the turnover number (TON) for CO or formate production are

rather limited. This raises the question of whether direct photochemical CO2
reduction is better than thermal CO2 hydrogenation. Photo- and electro-
chemical CO2 reduction systems, and biological systems, directly utilize pro-
tons and electrons for fuel (e.g., formate) synthesis from CO2. While CO2
hydrogenation in water is of interest, it is rather complicated owing to the
acid–base equilibrium of CO2 as shown in Equation (6.4). Although the
hydrogenation of CO2 into FA (Equation 6.5) in the gas phase is endergonic
(DG 298 ¼ þ33 kJ mol1), the reaction in the aqueous phase is exergonic
(DG 298 ¼ –4 kJ mol1), and the presence of a base makes the hydrogenation
of CO2 more favorable. Similarly, on the basis of theoretical calculations, the
hydrogenation of bicarbonate into formate in water (Equation 6.6) is believed
to be exergonic. Formate is the conjugate base of FA (Equation 6.7) and the
dehydrogenation is more favorable in acidic conditions.

in Table 6.1.
In 1993, Leitner et al. reported the first water-soluble rhodium catalyst,
RhCl(TPPTS)3 (TPPTS: tris(3-sulfonatophenyl)phosphine), which gave a
high TON of 3440 under relatively mild conditions (rt, 4 MPa H2/CO2)
(26). Joó et al. performed extensive studies using phosphorous rhodium
and ruthenium complexes in amine-free aqueous solutions (27–32).
A high TOF of 9600 h1 was obtained by using [RuCl2(TPPMS)2]2
(TPPMS: 3-sulfonatophenyldiphenylphosphine) at 9.5 MPa and 80 C.
Subsequently, Laurenczy and coworkers investigated reaction mechanisms
in detail with the rhodium and ruthenium catalysts having water-soluble
1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) ligand (33–36). Most recently,
Beller and Laurenczy et al. reported moderate catalytic activity (TOF:
1259 h1) using in situ complex [RuCl2(C6H6)]2/DPPM (DPPM: 1,2-bis
(diphenylphosphino)methane) in aqueous NaHCO3 under 8.5 MPa of
H2/CO2 (5/3.5) at 70 C (37).
In 2009, Nozaki and coworkers developed an Ir trihydride complex
IrH3(PNP1) (1, Figure 6.1) with a PNP pincer ligand and achieved the
highest activity to that date for CO2 hydrogenation. Due to the low water
solubility of the PNP complex, THF is required as a cosolvent for the homo-
geneous catalysis. Complex 1 showed a TOF of 150,000 h1 at 200 C and a

and (b) [Cp*Ir(6,60 -R2-bpy)(H2O)]SO4 (R ¼ OH, OMe, Me, H; circles). Reaction conditions:
1 MPa of H2/CO2 (1/1), 80 C, (a) 0.02–0.2 mM catalyst in 1 M KOH; and (b) 0.01–0.2 mM
catalyst in 1 M NaHCO3 (57).
substituents at the 6,60 positions was also investigated using a series of com-
plexes [Cp*Ir(6,60 -R2-bpy)(H2O)]SO4 (R ¼ OH, OMe, Me, H) with dif-
ferent substituents. As shown in the Hammett plots (Figure 6.8B), similar to
the 4,40 -substituted analogs, stronger electron-donating substituents lead to
markedly enhanced reaction rates. Apparently, there is an additional rate
enhancement for complex 24 compared to that of 21 (Figure 6.8). Since
the electron-donating ability of the hydroxyl group at the para and ortho
position should be almost the same, we proposed that the improved rate
is due to the proximity of the hydroxyl group to the metal center. DFT cal-
culations indicate that the adjacent hydroxyl groups deprotonate to give
oxyanions, which act as pendent bases and assist the heterolysis of H2
(Figure 6.9A–D) (57). NMR experiments suggested that 24 converts faster
than 21 to the Ir–H species (D). For example, 95% of 24 converted to the
Ir–H complex after 30 min under 0.2 MPa H2, while only 90% of 21 trans-
formed to the Ir–H complex after 40 h under 0.5 MPa H2. DFT calculations
on complex 24 under basic conditions support our proposed pendent-base
effect and also suggest that CO2 insertion into the Ir–H bond is stabilized by
a weak hydrogen bond between the hydrido ligand and deprotonated

pendent base (Figure 6.9E) (57). In addition, the calculations indicate that
heterolysis of dihydrogen is the rate-determining step, not CO2 insertion
as Ogo and Fukuzumi have suggested (77).
Furthermore, we recently found clear evidence from combined exper-
imental and computational studies of the involvement of a water molecule
in the rate-determining heterolysis of H2, and the enhancement of
proton transfer through the formation of a water bridge in CO2 hydroge-
nation catalyzed by bioinspired complexes bearing a pendent base (59).

KHCO3 decreased markedly (KIE ¼ 1.19, 1.07, 1.37 for complexes 21, 24,
and 26, respectively; Table 6.3, entry 3). The observed KIEs represent a
composite of the individual isotope effects for both heterolysis of D2 to form
Ir–D and CO2 insertion into Ir–D to generate Ir–ODCO. Therefore, it is
not possible to identify the rate-determining step by analysis of the KIE on
the TOF alone. Since the rate-determining step has been previously
predicted by DFT calculations to be the heterolysis of H2, we expect the
heterolysis of D2 to contribute largely to the observed KIE. Interestingly,
we found a special effect of D2O for different complexes when D2O was
used in the reaction with H2/CO2 or D2/CO2. Heavy water has almost
no effect on the reaction rate when 4DHBP complex 21 is used (entries
1 vs. 2 and entries 3 vs. 4 for complex 21). In contrast, a remarkable influence
on the reaction rate is observed when complexes 24 and 26 are used. The
reaction is significantly inhibited upon replacing H2O with D2O whether
using H2/CO2 or D2/CO2 (entries 1 vs. 2 and entries 3 vs. 4 for complexes
24 and 26, respectively). In addition, the reaction rate decreased markedly
with an increase in the D fraction in the reaction solution. When the reac-
tion was carried out with D2/CO2 in KDCO3/D2O, we obtained the
lowest TOF, which indicates the dual effect of deuterated gas and solvent.
Comparing the KIE data for 21 with those for 24 and 26, we can conclude
that heavy water is involved in the rate-limiting heterolysis of dihydrogen
for complex 24 and 26 but not for 4DHBP complex 21.

pH 5 (Figure 6.11). Then, recycling of 18 was investigated in batchwise
cycles based on the concept shown in Figure 6.12. When the added
KOH was completely consumed by the progress of the hydrogenation reac-
tion, the solution pH decreased, and the DHPT catalyst spontaneously pre-
cipitated due to its decreased water solubility at the lower pH. Thus, a
heterogeneous system was formed and catalytic action was “turned off,” that
is, the reaction terminated automatically. The precipitated catalyst could be

(<1 ppm). Combining the two reactions leads to a reversible hydrogen stor-
age system. Joó et al. demonstrated a charge/discharge device for hydrogen
storage and delivery based on the combination of the hydrogenation of
bicarbonate and dehydrogenation of formate in aqueous solution using
[RuCl2(TPPMS)2]2 without organic additives (102). The hydrogenation
at 10 MPa and 83 C gave formate with a yield of 90% in 200 min. Subse-
quently, the dehydrogenation in a closed system, initially at 1 atm, led to the
release of H2 with 40–50% conversion of the formate. The hydrogenation/
dehydrogenation cycle was repeated 3 times. Most recently, Laurenczy and
Beller et al. tested the in situ catalyst [RuCl2(C6H6)2]/DPPE for dehydroge-
nation of FA and obtained a TOF of 47,970 h1 at 80 C in the presence of
N,N-dimethylhexylamine (103). With constant addition of FA, the highest
TON of 800,000 was achieved without substantial deactivation of the cat-
alyst. They also achieved a high FA/NEt3 ratio of 2.31 (TON 3190) for CO2
hydrogenation using the well-defined complex [RuH2(DPPM)2] instead of
the in situ catalyst in DMF. A reversible “hydrogen-battery” system was
developed by [RuH2(DPPM)2]-catalyzed interconversion between CO2/
H2 and FA/NEt3. Addition of an amine additive after each run is required
due to the loss of NEt3 in the H2/CO2 gas evolution process. The system
showed slight deactivation after seven cycles.
The catalytic activities of iridium, rhodium, and ruthenium catalysts with
proton-responsive ligands have been investigated in the hydrogenation of
CO2 at basic conditions and dehydrogenation of FA at acidic conditions (58,
76, 95). The dinuclear THBPM complex 25 has been demonstrated to be
the most effective catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation and HCO2H dehydroge-
nation under mild conditions. Consequently, a proof-of-concept study by
the combination of hydrogenation of CO2 and dehydrogenation of FA
using the proton-responsive THBPM iridium catalyst 25 was performed
(Figure 6.18). It exhibited unprecedented activity toward both CO2 hydro-
genation (TOF: 70 h1, 25 C, 1 atm H2/CO2) and HCO2H dehydroge-
nation (TOF: 228,000 h1, 80 C). The catalyst provided a high
concentration of formate (0.48 M) by hydrogenation of CO2 at ambient
temperature and pressure in 2 M KHCO3. In a closed system, acidifying
the solution triggered the release of CO-free H2/CO2 gas and finally
reached 2.3 MPa. Only 17 mM HCO2H was detected after the dehydroge-
nation. The addition of bicarbonate to the reaction solution containing cat-
alyst at ambient conditions restarted the hydrogenation. Two cycles were
achieved without substantial deactivation; the first reversible hydrogen stor-
age with the same catalyst was achieved simply by changing the pH of the
aqueous reaction solution under mild conditions.
5. CONCLUDING REMARKS
The interconversion of CO2 and FA under mild conditions in water
has been recently achieved using Ru and Ir complexes and even using non-
precious metal Fe complexes. Both the TOF and TON have been remark-
ably improved. Only a few catalysts seem to have ligands with several
bifunctional properties such as proton-responsive properties, pendent bases
or acids for a second-coordination-sphere interaction, hydrogen-bonding
functions with a solvent molecule or an added reagent, and electro-
responsive properties. The most successful catalyst is [Cp*Ir
(H2O)]2(THBPM)4þ that has the first three of these characteristics associated
with its bridging ligand. By utilizing the acid–base equilibrium for proton
removal, the ligand becomes a strong electron donor resulting in Ir(I) char-
acter with a vacant coordination site at each metal center in basic solution.
Complemented by DFT calculations, the rates of formate production
using the related Ir mononuclear complexes with and without such
functions on the ligand reveal that the rate-determining step for the CO2
hydrogenation is likely to be the facile H2 heterolysis assisted by the
second-coordination-sphere interaction of the pendent base. These Ir com-
plexes with bifunctional ligands show interconversion of CO2 and FA under
mild conditions in water due to the flat reaction profiles for both directions
as can be seen in biological enzymic systems.
