Front Cover: CO2 Capture with Silylated Ethanolamines and Piperazines (ChemistryOpen 9/2020)

The Front Cover 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.
