Abstract: The invention relates to a cathode based on a transition metal (M) for reduction of carbon dioxide into formate in a hydro-organic or purely aqueous medium, particularly for air decarbonation applications for industry and in general for atmospheric pollution control and regeneration of breathable air in a confined or unconfined environment, characterized by including a transition metal molecular complex formed of:a bidentate ligand functional by identical or different electroattractive groups A and A', the ligand comprising a basic molecular group allowing the reduction redox potential of the complex to be reduced in a range of -1.40 to +0.80 V relative to an Ag/Ag.sup.+ reference electrode, at least one of the groups A or A' being electropolymerizable;two identical or different labile groups Y and Y' with trans stereochemistry taken from the following series: halide anion (Cl.sup.-, Br.sup.-, I.sup.-), acetate anion (CH.sub.3 COO.sup.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electricity conducting material having magnetic properties constituted by an electronic conductive polymer in which are homogeneously dispersed permanent magnetic particles bonded chemically or physicochemically to the polymer or serving as a polymer dopant.This material can be prepared by the polymerizationa) of a monomer such as pyrrole in the presence of a colloidal suspension of charged magnetic particles, orb) a monomer such as pyrrole, chemically bonded to a magnetic particle.
