《Mesoporous covalent organic framework: An active photocatalyst for formic acid synthesis through carbon dioxide reduction under visible light》 was published in Molecular Catalysis in 2020. These research results belong to Sarkar, Priyanka; Riyajuddin, Sk.; Das, Anjan; Hazra Chowdhury, Arpita; Ghosh, Kaushik; Islam, Sk. Manirul. Safety of 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde The article mentions the following:
The photocatalytic reduction is demonstrate of CO2 into HCOOH using mesoporous covalent organic framework (COF) as the active photocatalyst, Co(DMG)2 as co-catalyst with Triethanolamine (TEOA) as sacrificial electron source under atm. pressure. Greater than 125 TON is achieved with 10 mg catalyst. The reaction cycle is dependent on the use of co-catalyst, Co(DMG)2 and sacrificial electron donor (TEOA). The reaction does not occur in the absence of light (445 nm) and can readily be controlled by light intensity alternation. It is also demonstrate that a TON of 36 can be obtained with use of sunlight using the catalytic cycle. These results open the door to an entirely new class of protocol for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 using COF and Co(DMG)2 as co-catalyst under visible light. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde(cas: 34374-88-4Safety of 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde)
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde(cas: 34374-88-4) is a member of phloroglucinol derivatives.Safety of 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehydePhloroglucinols are known for their broad-spectrum antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antihelminthic, and phytotoxic activities.
