Carbon dioxide is probably among the most notorious types of chemical waste known to date and is held co‐responsible for the adverse global climate changes witnessed in the last decade. Ever since the industrial revolution, anthropogenic CO₂ emissions have risen and resulted in a current atmospheric concentration that goes beyond 400 parts per million. Contemporary scientists are thus facing an enormous challenge to mitigate the negative effects of global CO₂ emissions. Catalysis has manifested itself as a key transformative technology1 to convert CO₂ into products with an increased economic value. While initial efforts towards CO₂ activation date back to the mid‐1970s,2 the current state of the art displays a plethora of catalytic conversions in which CO₂ acts as one of the principal reagents.3 The molecular complexity created with this renewable carbon source has tremendously increased, with contributions in all sectors of modern chemical synthesis including fine and bulk chemistry,4 pharmaceutical development,5 and (biobased) polymer formulations.6 It can therefore be concluded that CO₂ chemistry and catalysis has enriched synthetic chemistry and provided impetus for a circular carbon economy/cycle.
