Carbon Dioxide Activation Assisted by a Bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl Titanium Compound

摘要

A great deal of interest has focused on the role of metal ions as the active centers in the fixation of CO_2 and its transformation.Activation of CO_2 by hydroxo and oxo metal complexes to afford metal hydrogencarbonato and carbonato species,respectively,is related to the function of the carbonic anhydrase metalloenzyme,which catalyzes the physiologically important hydration of CO_2 to hydrogencarbonate [Eq.(l)].
