The hydrogenation of CO<sub>2</sub> to produce alcohols with two or more carbons (C<sub>2+</sub> alcohols) is of great importance, but is challenging. In this work, we found that a Ru<sub>3</sub>(CO)<sub>12</sub>/Rh<sub>2</sub>(CO)<sub>4</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>-LiI system could catalyze the reaction effectively in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) under mild conditions. Methanol, ethanol, propanol, 2-methyl propanol, butanol, and 2-methyl butanol were produced in the homogeneous catalytic reactio ...[more]
