[Ni^III(OMe)]-mediated reductive activation of CO₂ affording a Ni(κ¹-OCO) complex.

ABSTRACT: Carbon dioxide is expected to be employed as an inexpensive and potential feedstock of C₁ sources for the mass production of valuable chemicals and fuel. Versatile chemical transformations of CO₂, i.e. insertion of CO₂ producing bicarbonate/acetate/formate, cleavage of CO₂ yielding μ-CO/μ-oxo transition-metal complexes, and electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ affording CO/HCOOH/CH₃OH/CH₄/C₂H₄/oxalate were well documented. Herein, we report a novel pathway for the reductive activation of CO₂ by the [Ni^III(OMe)(P(C₆H₃-3-SiMe₃-2-S)₃)]^- complex, yielding the [Ni^III(κ¹-OCO˙^-)(P(C
