My Notes
Categories
Various topics ranging from coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, solid state chemistry and point group and symmetry are discussed from the JACS article published by Smaranda C. Marinescu and her co-workers. The article describes the conversion of CO2 to CO by using cobalt aminopyridine macrocycle catalysts.
This LO is part of a special VIPEr collection honoring the 2021 ACS National Award recipients in the field of inorganic chemistry. Smaranda C. Marinescu was the recipient of the Harry Gray Award for Creative Work in Inorganic Chemistry by a Young Investigator for her outstanding accomplishments in developing efficient catalytic systems for the conversion of solar energy into chemical bonds.
