Abstract: In this report, a hybrid terpyridine (tpy) ligand functionalize with magnetic support was
synthesized to obtain well-dispersed Ru NPs with a 2.0±0.5 nm mean size. This material was further
analyzed using different analytical techniques before utilizing it as a catalyst for the CO2
hydrogenation reaction. A noticeable application of Ru-deposited magnetic nanoparticles as catalysts
was observed during the CO2 hydrogenation. We successfully synthesized the formic acid
with a high TON value under high-pressure reaction conditions. Easy recovery of the catalyst under
the applied magnetic field helped us to reuse the catalyst up to 6 times with good TON and TOV
value.
