Photochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide to Formate Catalyzed by <i>p</i>-Terphenyl in Aprotic Polar Solvent

Abstract

Abstract Photoreduction of CO2 to formic acid and a small quantity of CO can be achieved in aprotic polar solvent by using p-terphenyl as catalyst and triethylamine as a sacrificial electron donor under &amp;gt;290-nm irradiation.
