Ruthenium will fix it : CO 2 undergoes reduction to HCO 2 − when placed over a solution of a ruthenium complex bearing an NADH model ligand 1 (black in right structural formula). The organic hydride transfer is triggered by the addition of benzoate anion, which rapidly forms a complex with 1 , a complex that is a stronger reductant than 1 . A photocatalytic variant of the reaction using triethanolamine as a sacrificial reagent has also been developed.
