A soft-oxometalate (SOM) based on Mo and V i.e. {MoV} in their highest oxidation state reduces CO to HCOOH selectively in water. Catalysis initiates without the use of any photosensitizer and solvent water acts as the sacrificial electron donor which gets oxidized to generate oxygen. Electrons and protons released in this process reduce CO to HCOOH.
一种基于处于最高氧化态的钼(Mo)和钒(V)即{MoV}的软氧金属酸盐(SOM)在水中将CO选择性还原为HCOOH。催化反应无需使用任何光敏剂即可启动,溶剂水作为牺牲电子供体被氧化生成氧气。在此过程中释放的电子和质子将CO还原为HCOOH。
