Abstract
Carbon dioxide and water are mixed with an organometallic complex represented by general formula (1) below where R, R, R, R, R, and Rindependently represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, M represents an element that can be coordinated to the benzene ring, Xand Xrepresent nitrogen-containing ligands, Xrepresents a hydrogen atom, a carboxylic acid residue, or HO, Xand Xmay be bonded to each other, Y represents an anion species, K represents a valency of a cation species, L represents a valency of an anion species, K and L independently represent 1 or 2, and K, m, L, and n are related to one another by K×m=L×n. This makes it possible to directly reduce carbon dioxide in water.
