Invited for this month's cover is the group of Marcus Herbig from the TU Bergakademie in Freiberg. The cover picture shows the reaction of CO 2 with a silyl derivative of the biogenic amine ethanolamine. The role of CO 2 as a contributor to climate change makes “carbon capture” a desirable goal. However, in addition to simply capture CO 2 , aminosilanes form silylcarbamates, which represent starting materials for a variety of crucial chemicals. Thus, the entrapped CO 2 represents a useful C 1 building block. The ESF‐funded Junior Research Group CO 2 ‐Sil at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg (represented by their Logo and location) pursues that kind of goals. CO 2 ‐Sil studies these key reactions of CO 2 insertion in depth by syntheses, quantum chemical calculations and calorimetric experiments. CO 2 brought to the ground by our method shall be feedstock for various branches in chemistry. Read the full text of their Full Paper at 10.1002/open.201900269.
