Abstract

A ruthenium porphyrin-based porous organic polymer (POP) was synthesized, characterized, and used to reduce CO2 to a formate salt. We demonstrate that Ru-BBT-POP can be utilized to reduce CO2 to a silyl formate and then converted to potassium formate with a respectable turnover number and frequency.
