Chemical Spring

Inspired by photosynthesis, we describe a photon-to-potential energy transformer, which allows arylcyclohexenes to serve as energy currency to drive endergonic ground state processes.  The potential of this strategy is exemplified in the conversion of CO2 to value-added urethanes while making water as the only by-product.  Artwork created by Ella Weaver and Ariana Prier.
