Such a multiphase reaction medium was observed to have different impacts changing from one nitrile to another and the selective production of primary amine was achieved with PEC and HN but not with the other nitriles. Possible reasons for the substrate-dependent effects of CO2 and water were discussed.ElsevierJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/72089https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/72089/1/Accepted%20Revised%20Version.pdf2212-9820Journal of CO2 Utilization163713742016-12enginfo:doi/10.1016/j.jcou.2016.09.006© 2016.
