This work demonstrates the first-ever completely metal-free approach to the capture of CO<sub>2</sub> from air followed by reduction to methoxyborane (which produces methanol on hydrolysis) or sodium formate (which produces formic acid on hydrolysis) under ambient conditions. This was accomplished using an abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (<i>a</i>NHC)-borane adduct. The intermediate involved in CO<sub>2</sub> capture (<i>a</i>NHC-H, HCOO, B(OH)<sub>3</sub>) was structurally characterized by sing ...[more]
