Invited for this month's cover is the group of Marcus Herbig from the TU Bergakademie in Freiberg. The cover picture shows the reaction of CO₂ with a silyl derivative of the biogenic amine ethanolamine. The role of CO₂ as a contributor to climate change makes “carbon capture” a desirable goal. However, in addition to simply capture CO₂, aminosilanes form silylcarbamates, which represent starting materials for a variety of crucial chemicals. Thus, the entrapped CO₂ represents a useful C₁ building block. The ESF‐funded Junior Research Group CO₂‐Sil at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg (represented by their Logo and location) pursues that kind of goals. CO₂‐Sil studies these key reactions of CO₂ insertion in depth by syntheses, quantum chemical calculations and calorimetric experiments. CO₂ brought to the ground by our method shall be feedstock for various branches in chemistry. Read the full text of their Full Paper at 10.1002/open.201900269.

使用硅烷化乙醇胺和哌嗪捕获 CO2。

本月的封面邀请是来自弗赖贝格的 TU Bergakademie 的 Marcus Herbig 小组。封面图片显示了 CO ₂与生物胺乙醇胺的甲硅烷基衍生物的反应。CO ₂作为气候变化贡献者的作用使“碳捕获”成为一个理想的目标。然而，除了简单地捕获 CO ₂之外，氨基硅烷还形成甲硅烷基氨基甲酸酯，它代表了各种关键化学品的起始材料。因此，截留的CO ₂代表有用的C ₁结构单元。由 ESF 资助的 TU Bergakademie Freiberg 初级研究小组 CO ₂ -Sil（以他们的徽标和位置为代表）追求这种目标。二氧化碳₂-Sil通过合成、量子化学计算和量热实验深入研究了CO _{2插入的这些关键反应。}通过我们的方法带到地面的CO _{2将成为化学各个分支的原料。}在 10.1002/open.201900269 阅读他们的全文。
