Carbon Dioxide as Chemical Feedstock [Repost]

Carbon dioxide is not only a gas found in our atmosphere; it can also be used as an important "C-1 building block" in synthetic chemistry or as a medium for organic reaction.
Filling the need for an up-to-date handbook, this ready reference closely investigates the use of CO2 for the synthesis of carboxylates, carbonates, carbamates, isocyanates, and polymeric materials, as well as a solvent, in electro- and photoelectro-chemistry, biomass enhanced production and much more besides.
