Catalysts for the reduction of CO
2
are described herein. More specifically, catalysts of Formula I and Formula II:
wherein LB is a Lewis base; LA is a Lewis acid; R
1
is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, phenyl and substituted phenyl; and R
9
and R
10
are independently selected from alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, phenyl and substituted phenyl; are described. A process for the production of methanol from CO
2
using such catalysts is also described.
