Simply efficient : The homogenously catalyzed hydrogenation of CO 2 to methanol is achieved by using a ruthenium phosphine complex under relatively mild conditions (see scheme; HNTf 2 =bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide). This is the first example of CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol by using a single molecularly defined catalyst.
