Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The front cover picture</bold>. Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formate was achieved by molecular copper catalysts for the first time. In the cover picture, the gate made of copper is opened by a DBU molecule, inviting carbon dioxide and molecular hydrogen into the gate. It implies that the combination of copper and DBU is crucial for the hydrogenation. The contribution of DBU is a key in the reaction, because DBU serves a dual role as a base and a ligand bound to copper species.
