Abstract
Hydrogen-atom transfer from a thiol group to the CO2 radical anion is a fast and selective downhill process in a gas-phase water cluster. This suggests that placing a thiol group near the site of electron transfer to CO2 in a nanostructured electrochemical environment allows the selective formation of formic acid (see picture; dark gray C, light gray H, red O, yellow S). © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
