Abstract
Six rhenium hydride complexes, [(6,6'-R2-bpy)Re(CO)3H] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, R = OEt, OMe, NHMe, Me, F, Br), were synthesized. These complexes insert CO2 to form rhenium formate complexes of the type [(6,6'-R2-bpy)Re(CO)3{OC(O)H}]. All the rhenium formate species were characterized using X-ray crystallography, which revealed that the bpy ligand is not coplanar with the metal coordination plane containing the two nitrogen donors of the bpy ligand but tilted. A solid-state structure of [(6,6'-Me2-bpy)Re(CO)3H] determined using MicroED also featured a tilted bpy ligand. The kinetics of CO2 insertion into complexes of the type [(6,6'-R2-bpy)Re(CO)3H] were measured experimentally and the thermodynamic hydricities of [(6,6'-R2-bpy)Re(CO)3H] species were determined using theoretical calculations. A Brønsted plot constructed using the experimentally determined rate constants for CO2 insertion and the calculated thermodynamic hydricities for [(6,6'-R2-bpy)Re(CO)3H] revealed a linear free energy relationship (LFER) between thermodynamic and kinetic hydricity. This LFER is different to the previously determined relationship for CO2 insertion into complexes of the type [(4,4'-R2-bpy)Re(CO)3H]. At a given thermodynamic hydricity, CO2 insertion is faster for complexes containing a 6,6'-substituted bpy ligand. This is likely in part due to the tilting observed for systems with 6,6'-substituted bpy ligands. Notably, the 6,6'-(NHMe)2-bpy ligand could in principle stabilize the transition state for CO2 insertion via hydrogen bonding. This work shows that if only the rate of CO2 insertion into [(6,6'-(NHMe)2-bpy)Re(CO)3H] is compared to [(4,4'-R2-bpy)Re(CO)3H] systems, the increase in rate could be easily attributed to hydrogen bonding, but in fact all 6,6'-substituted systems lead to faster than expected rates.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (e-CO2RR) to CO is replete with challenges including the need to carry out e-CO2RR at low overpotentials. Previously, a tricopper-substituted polyoxometalate was shown to reduce CO2 to CO with a very high faradaic efficiency albeit at -2.5 V versus Fc/Fc+. It is now demonstrated that introducing a nonredox metal Lewis acid, preferably GaIII, as a binding site for CO2 in the first coordination sphere of the polyoxometalate, forming heterometallic polyoxometalates, e.g., [SiCuIIFeIIIGaIII(H2O)3W9O37]8-, leads to bimodal activity optimal both at -2.5 and -1.5 V versus Fc/Fc+; reactivity at -1.5 V being at an overpotential of ∼150 mV. These results were observed by cyclic voltammetry and quantitative controlled potential electrolysis where high faradaic efficiency and chemoselectivity were obtained at -2.5 and -1.5 V. A reaction with 13CO2 revealed that CO2 disproportionation did not occur at -1.5 V. EPR spectroscopy showed reduction, first of CuII to CuI and FeIII to FeII and then reduction of a tungsten atom (WVI to WV) in the polyoxometalate framework. IR spectroscopy showed that CO2 binds to [SiCuIIFeIIIGaIII(H2O)3W9O37]8- before reduction. In situ electrochemical attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) with pulsed potential modulated excitation revealed different observable intermediate species at -2.5 and -1.5 V. DFT calculations explained the CV, the formation of possible activated CO2 species at both -2.5 and -1.5 V through series of electron transfer, proton-coupled electron transfer, protonation and CO2 binding steps, the active site for reduction, and the role of protons in facilitating the reactions.

Abstract
The synthesis and investigation of [Rh(DHMPE)2][BF4] (1) are reported. 1 features proton-responsive 1,2-bis[(dihydroxymethyl)phosphino]ethane (DHMPE) ligands, which readily capture CO2 from atmospheric sources upon deprotonation. The protonation state of the DHMPE ligand was observed to have a significant impact on the catalytic reactivity of 1 with CO2. Deprotonation and CO2 binding to 1 result in a ∼10-fold rate enhancement in catalytic degenerate CO2 reduction with formate, monitored by 12C/13C isotope exchange between H12CO2- and 13CO2. Studies performed using a similar complex lacking the hydroxyl ligand functionality ([Rh(DEPE)2][BF4] where DEPE = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane) do not show the same rate enhancements when base is added. Based upon the cation-dependent activity of the catalyst, Eyring analysis, and cation sequestration experiments, CO2 binding to 1 is proposed to facilitate preorganization of formate/CO2 in the transition state via ligand-based encapsulation of Na+ or K+ cations to lower the activation energy and increase the observed catalytic rate. Incorporation of proton-responsive DHMPE ligands provides a unique approach to accelerate the kinetics of catalytic CO2 reduction to formate.

Abstract
ConspectusDespite the plethora of metal catalyzed reactions for CO2 utilization that have been developed in academic laboratories, practical systems remain elusive. The understanding of the elementary steps in catalysis is a proven method to improve catalytic performance. In many catalytic cycles for CO2 utilization, the insertion of CO2 into a metal-element σ-bond, such as hydrides, alkyls, amides, or hydroxides, is a crucial step. However, despite the many demonstrations of CO2 insertion, there are a paucity of kinetic studies, and information about the reaction mechanism has been predominantly elucidated from computational investigations. In this Account, kinetic studies on CO2 insertion into late transition metal-element σ-bonds performed by my group are summarized, along with their implications for catalysis.A common pathway for CO2 insertion into a metal hydride involves a two-step mechanism. The first step is nucleophilic attack on CO2 by the hydride to generate an H-bound formate, followed by rearrangement to form an O-bound formate product. Kinetic studies on systems in which both the first and second steps are proposed to be rate-determining, known as inner-sphere and outer-sphere processes, respectively, show that insertion rates increase as (i) the ligand trans to the hydride becomes a stronger donor, (ii) the ancillary ligand becomes more electron-donating, and (iii) the Dimroth-Reichardt parameter of the solvent increases. However, the magnitude of these effects is generally smaller for inner-sphere processes because there is less buildup of charge in the key transition state. For similar reasons, the presence of Lewis acids only increases the rate of outer-sphere processes. These results suggest it may be possible to experimentally differentiate between inner- and outer-sphere processes.The insertion of CO2 into a metal-alkyl bond results in the formation of a C-C bond, which is important for the generation of fuels from CO2. For square planar Group 10 complexes, the presence of a strong donor ligand trans to the alkyl group is critical for kinetically promoting insertion. Further, the nucleophilicity of the alkyl ligand directly impacts the rate of CO2 insertion via an SE2 mechanism, as does the steric bulk of the complex, and the reaction solvent. In contrast to the relatively slow rates of insertion observed for metal alkyls, CO2 insertion is rapid for metal hydroxides and amides. Although kinetics trends could be determined for hydroxides, reactions with amides are too fast for quantitative studies.Overall, the rates of insertion correlate with the nucleophilicity of the element in the metal-element σ-bond, so amide > hydroxide > hydride > alkyl. Due to the related pathways for insertion, similar trends in ligand and solvent effects are observed for insertion into different metal-element σ-bonds. Thus, the same strategies can be used to control the rates of insertion across systems. Differences in the magnitude of solvent and ligand effects are caused by variation in the amount of charge build-up on the metal in the rate-determining transition state. Likely, given that CO2 is related to organic molecules such as aldehydes, ketones, and amides, the results described in this Account are general to a wider range of substrates.

Abstract
To attain carbon neutrality, significant efforts have been made to capture and utilize CO2. The homogeneous hydrogenation of CO2 catalyzed by transition metal complexes, particularly the ruthenium complexes, has demonstrated significant advantages and is regarded as a viable approach for practical application. Insertion of CO2 into the Ru-H bond, producing the Ru-formate product, is the key step in the hydrogenation of CO2. In order to parameterize the catalytic activities in the CO2 insertion into the Ru-H bond, the concept of simplified mechanism-based approach with data-driven practice (SMADP) has been introduced in this paper. The results showed that the hydricity of the Ru-H complex (ΔGH-) might serve as a single active descriptor in the process of CO2 insertion, and that a novel ruthenium complex in CO2 catalysis may not be easily obtained by mere modification of the auxiliary ligand at the ruthenium metal site.

Abstract
The 1,2-insertion reaction of CO2 into metal-hydride bonds of d6-octahedral complexes to give κ1-O-metal-formate products is the key step in various CO2 reduction schemes and as a result has attracted extensive mechanistic investigations. For many octahedral catalysts, CO2 insertion follows an associative mechanism in which CO2 interacts directly with the coordinated hydride ligand instead of the more classical dissociative mechanism that opens an empty coordination site to bind the substrate to the metal prior to a hydride migration step. To better understand the associative mechanism, we conducted a systematic quantum chemical investigation on the reaction between CO2 and fac-(bpy)Re(CO)3H (1-Re-H; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) starting with the gas phase and then moving to THF and other solvents with increased dielectric constants. Detailed analyses of the potential energy surfaces (PESs) and intrinsic reaction coordinates (IRCs) reveal that the reaction is enabled in all media by an initial stage of making a 3c-2e bond between the carbon of CO2 and the metal-hydride bond that is most consistent with an organometallic bridging hydride Re-H-CO2 species. Once CO2 is bent and anchored to the metal-hydride bond, the reaction proceeds by a rotation motion via a cyclic transition state TS2 that interchanges Re-H-CO2 and Re-O-CHO coordination. The combined stages provide an asynchronous-concerted pathway for CO2 insertion on the Gibbs free energy surface with TS2 as the highest energy point. Consideration of TS2 as a rate-determining TS gives activation barriers, inverse KIEs, substituent effects, and solvent effects that agree with the experimental data available in this system. An important new insight revealed by the analyses of the results is that the initial stage of the reaction is not a hydride transfer step as has been assumed in some studies. In fact, the loose vibration of the TS that can be identified for the first stage of the reaction in solution (TS1) does not involve the Re-H stretching vibrational mode. Accordingly, the imaginary frequency of TS1 is insensitive to deuteration, and therefore, TS1 leads to no significant KIE.

Abstract
Typified by LiTMP and TMPMgCl.LiCl, (TMP=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide), s-block metal amides have found widespread applications in arene deprotonative metalation. On the contrary, transition metal amides lack sufficient basicity to activate these substrates. Breaking new ground in this field, here we present the synthesis and full characterisation of earth-abundant transition metals M(TMP)2 (M=Fe, Co). Uncovering a new reactivity profile towards fluoroarenes, these amide complexes can promote direct M-H exchange processes regioselectively using one or two of their basic amide arms. Remarkably, even when using a perfluorinated substrate, selective C-H metalation occurs leaving C-F bonds intact. Their kinetic basicity can be boosted by LiCl or NBu4Cl additives which enables formation of kinetically activated ate species. Combining spectroscopic and structural studies with DFT calculations, mechanistic insights have been gained on how these low polarity metalation processes take place. M(TMP)2 can also be used to access ferrocene and cobaltocene by direct deprotonation of cyclopentadiene and undergo efficient CO2 insertion of both amide groups under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
The activation and functionalization of carbon dioxide entails great interest related to its abundance, low toxicity and associated environmental problems. However, the inertness of CO2 has posed a challenge towards its efficient conversion to added-value products. In this review we discuss one of the strategies that have been widely used to capture and activate carbon dioxide, namely the use of donor-acceptor interactions by partnering a Lewis acidic and a Lewis basic fragment. This type of CO2 activation resembles that found in metalloenzymes, whose outstanding performance in catalytically transforming carbon dioxide encourages further bioinspired research. We have divided this review into three general sections based on the nature of the active sites: metal-free examples (mainly formed by frustrated Lewis pairs), main group-transition metal combinations, and transition metal heterobimetallic complexes. Overall, we discuss one hundred compounds that cooperatively activate carbon dioxide by donor-acceptor interactions, revealing a wide range of structural motifs.

Abstract
Main-group elements are renowned for their versatile reactivities in organometallic chemistry, including CO2 insertion and H2 activation. However, electrocatalysts comprising a main-group element active site have not yet been widely developed for activating CO2 or producing H2. Recently, research has focused on main-group element-based electrocatalysts that are active in redox systems related to fuel-forming reactions. These studies have determined that the catalytic performances of heavier main-group element-based electrocatalysts are often similar to those of transition-metal-based electrocatalysts. Our group has recently reported the scope of including the main-group elements in the design of molecular catalysts and explored their applications in redox catalysis, such as the generation of H2 upon coupling of two protons (H+) and two electrons (e-). This feature article summarizes our research efforts in developing molecular electrocatalysts comprising main-group elements at their active sites. Furthermore, we highlight their influence on the rate-determining step, thereby enhancing the reaction rate and product selectivity for multi-H+/multi-e- transfer catalysis. Particularly, we focus on the performance of our recently reported molecular Sn- or Sb-centered macrocycles for electrocatalytic H2 evolution reaction (HER) and on how their mechanisms resemble those of transition-metal-based electrocatalysts. Moreover, we discuss the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), another promising fuel-forming reaction, and emphasize the recent progress in including the main-group elements in the CO2RR. Although the main-group elements are found at the active sites of the molecular catalysts and are embedded in the electrode materials for studying the HER, molecular catalysts bearing main-group elements are not commonly used for CO2RR. However, the main-group elements assist the CO2RR by acting as co-catalysts. For example, alkali and alkaline earth metal ions (e.g., Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Ba2+) are known for their Lewis acidities, which influence the thermodynamic landscape of the CO2RR and product selectivity. In contrast, the elements in groups 13, 14, and 15 are primarily used as dopants in the preparation of catalytic materials. Overall, this article identifies main-group element-based molecular electrocatalysts and materials for HER and CO2RR.

Abstract
The insertion of CO2 into metal alkyl bonds is a crucial elementary step in transition metal-catalyzed processes for CO2 utilization. Here, we synthesize pincer-supported palladium complexes of the type (tBuPBP)Pd(alkyl) (tBuPBP = B(NCH2PtBu2)2C6H4-; alkyl = CH2CH3, CH2CH2CH3, CH2C6H5, and CH2-4-OMe-C6H4) and (tBuPBP)Pd(C6H5) and compare the rates of CO2 insertion into the palladium alkyl bonds to form metal carboxylate complexes. Although, the rate constant for CO2 insertion into (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH3) is more than double the rate constant we previously measured for insertion into the palladium methyl complex (tBuPBP)Pd(CH3), insertion into (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH2CH3) occurs approximately one order of magnitude slower than (tBuPBP)Pd(CH3). CO2 insertion into the benzyl complexes (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2C6H5) and (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2-4-OMe-C6H4) is significantly slower than any of the n-alkyl complexes, and CO2 does not insert into the palladium phenyl bond of (tBuPBP)Pd(C6H5). While (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH3) and (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH2CH3) are resistant to β-hydride elimination, we were unable to synthesize complexes with n-butyl, iso-propyl, and tert-butyl ligands due to β-hydride elimination and an unusual reductive coupling, which involves the formation of new C-B bonds. This reductive process also occurred for (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2C6H5) at elevated temperature and a related process involving the formation of a new H-B bond prevented the isolation of (tBuPBP)PdH. DFT calculations provide insight into the relative rates of CO2 insertion and indicate that steric factors are critical. Overall, this work is one of the first comparative studies of the rates of CO2 insertion into different metal alkyl bonds and provides fundamental information that may be important for the development of new catalysts for CO2 utilization.

Abstract
Selective reduction of CO2 is an efficient solution for producing nonfossil-based chemical feedstocks and simultaneously alleviating the increasing atmospheric concentration of this greenhouse gas. With this aim, molecular electrocatalysts are being extensively studied, although selectivity remains an issue. In this work, a combined experimental-computational study explores how the molecular structure of Mn-based complexes determines the dominant product in the reduction of CO2 to HCOOH, CO, and H2. In contrast to previous Mn(bpy-R)(CO)3Br catalysts containing alkyl amines in the vicinity of the Br ligand, here, we report that bpy-based macrocycles locking these amines at the side opposite to the Br ligand change the product selectivity from HCOOH to H2. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of the active species showed that free rotation of the Mn(CO)3 moiety allows for the approach of the protonated amine to the reactive center yielding a Mn-hydride intermediate, which is the key in the formation of H2 and HCOOH. Additional studies with DFT methods showed that the macrocyclic moiety hinders the insertion of CO2 to the metal hydride favoring the formation of H2 over HCOOH. Further, our results suggest that the minor CO product observed experimentally is formed when CO2 adds to Mn on the side opposite to the amine ligand before protonation. These results show how product selectivity can be modulated by ligand design in Mn-based catalysts, providing atomistic details that can be leveraged in the development of a fully selective system.

Abstract
In this study, we have explored the catalytic reactivities of four PNP-pincer supported Fe(II) complexes, namely, [(iPrPNMeP)FeH2(CO)] (1), [(iPrPNMeP)FeH(CO)(BH4)] (2), [(iPrPNHP)FeH2(CO)] (3), and [(iPrPNMeP)FeH(BH4)] (4) (iPrPNMeP = MeN{CH2CH2(PiPr2)}2 and iPrPNHP = HN{CH2CH2(PiPr2)}2) toward reductive CO2 hydrogenation for formate production. Our density functional theory and ab initio complete active space self-consistent field study have identified three fundamental steps in this catalytic transformation: (i) anchoring of the CO2 molecule in the vicinity of the metal using noncovalent interactions, (ii) catalyst regeneration via H2 cleavage, and (iii) formate rebound step leading to catalytic poisoning. The variations in the catalytic efficiency observed among these catalysts were attributed to either easing of steps (i) and (ii) or the hampering step (iii). This can be achieved in various chemical/non-chemical ways, for instance, (a) incorporation of strong-field ligands such as CO facilitating single-state reactivity and eliminating two-state reactivity that generally enhances the rate and (b) inclusion of Lewis acids such as LiOTf and strong bases found to either avoid catalytic poisoning or ease the H-H cleavages, to enhance the rate of reaction (c) evading mixing of excited open-shell singlet states to the ground closed-shell singlet state that hampers the catalytic regeneration. We have probed the role of oriented external electric fields (OEEFs) in the entire mechanistic profile for the best and worst catalyst, and our study suggests that imposing OEEFs opposite to the reaction axis (z-axis) fastens the catalytic regeneration step and, at the same time, hampers catalytic poisoning. The application of OEEFs is found to regulate the energetics of various spin states and can hamper two-state reactivity, therefore increasing the efficiency. Thus, this study provides insights into the CO2 hydrogenation mechanism where the role of bases/Lewis acid, ligand design, spin states, and electric field in a particular direction has been established and is, therefore, likely to pave the way forward for a new generation of catalysts.

Abstract
A three-component hydrocarboxylation of an olefin with CO2 and H2 could be regarded as a dream reaction, since it would provide a straightforward approach for the synthesis of aliphatic carboxylic acids in perfect atom economy. However, this transformation has not been realized in a direct manner under mild conditions, because boosting the carboxylation with thermodynamically stable CO2 while suppressing the rapid hydrogenation of olefin remains a challenging task. Here, we report a rhodium-catalysed reductive hydrocarboxylation of styrene derivatives with CO2 and H2 under mild conditions, in which H2 served as the terminal reductant. In this approach, the carboxylation process was largely accelerated by visible light irradiation, which was proved both experimentally and by computational studies. Hydrocarboxylation of various kinds of styrene derivatives was achieved in good yields without additional base under ambient pressure of CO2/H2 at room temperature. Mechanistic investigations revealed that use of a cationic rhodium complex was critical to achieve high hydrocarboxylation selectivity.

Abstract
Ligand design is crucial for the development of new catalysts and materials with new properties. Herein, the synthesis and unique hemilabile coordination properties of new bis-pyridylidene amine (bis-PYE) ligands to palladium, and preliminary catalytic activity of these complexes in formic acid dehydrogenation are described. The synthetic pathway to form cationic complexes [Pd(bis-PYE)Cl(L)]X with a cis-coordinated N,N-bidentate bis-PYE ligand is flexible and provides access to a diversity of PdII complexes with different ancillary ligands (L=pyridine, DMAP, PPh3 , Cl, P(OMe)3 ). The 1 H NMR chemical shift of the trans-positioned PYE N-CH3 unit is identified as a convenient and diagnostic handle to probe the donor properties of these ancillary ligands and demonstrates the electronic flexibility of the PYE ligand sites. In the presence of a base, the originally cis-coordinated bis-PYE ligand adopts a N,N,N-tridentate coordination mode with the two PYE units in mutual trans position. This cis-trans isomerization is reverted in presence of an acid, demonstrating a unique structural and steric flexibility of the bis-PYE ligand at palladium in addition to its electronic adaptability. The palladium complexes are active in formic acid dehydrogenation to H2 and CO2 . The catalytic performance is directly dependent on the ligand bonding mode, the nature of the ancillary ligand, the counteranion, and additives. The most active system features a bidentate bis-PYE ligand, PPh3 as ancillary ligand and accomplishes turnover frequencies up to 525 h-1 in the first hour and turnover numbers of nearly 1000, which is the highest activity reported for palladium-based catalysts to date.

Abstract
Bimetallic motifs mediate the selective activation and functionalization of CO2 in metalloenzymes and some recent synthetic systems. In this work, we build on the nascent concept of bimetallic frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) to investigate the activation and reduction of CO2 . Using the Fe0 fragment [(depe)2 Fe] (depe=1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane) as base, we modify the nature of the partner Lewis acid to accomplish a divergent and highly chemoselective reactivity towards CO2 . [Au(PMe2 Ar)]+ irreversibly dissociates CO2 , Zn(C6 F5 )2 and B(C6 F5 )3 yield different CO2 adducts stabilized by push-pull interactions, while Al(C6 F5 )3 leads to a rare heterobimetallic C-O bond cleavage, and thus to contrasting reduced products after exposure to dihydrogen. Computational investigations provide a rationale for the divergent reactivity, while Energy Decomposition Analysis-Natural Orbital for Chemical Valence (EDA-NOCV) method substantiates the heterobimetallic bonding situation.

Abstract
The kinetics of hydride transfer from Re(Rbpy)(CO)3H (bpy = 4,4'-R-2,2'-bipyridine; R = OMe, tBu, Me, H, Br, COOMe, CF3) to CO2 and seven different cationic N-heterocycles were determined. Additionally, the thermodynamic hydricities of complexes of the type Re(Rbpy)(CO)3H were established primarily using computational methods. Linear free-energy relationships (LFERs) derived by correlating thermodynamic and kinetic hydricities indicate that, in general, the rate of hydride transfer increases as the thermodynamic driving force for the reaction increases. Kinetic isotope effects range from inverse for hydride transfer reactions with a small driving force to normal for reactions with a large driving force. Hammett analysis indicates that hydride transfer reactions with greater thermodynamic driving force are less sensitive to changes in the electronic properties of the metal hydride, presumably because there is less buildup of charge in the increasingly early transition state. Bronsted α values were obtained for a range of hydride transfer reactions and along with DFT calculations suggest the reactions are concerted, which enables the use of Marcus theory to analyze hydride transfer reactions involving transition metal hydrides. It is notable, however, that even slight perturbations in the steric properties of the Re hydride or the hydride acceptor result in large deviations in the predicted rate of hydride transfer based on thermodynamic driving forces. This indicates that thermodynamic considerations alone cannot be used to predict the rate of hydride transfer, which has implications for catalyst design.

Abstract
As a desired feedstock for sustainable energy source and for chemical synthesis, the capture and utilization of CO2 have attracted chemists’ continuous efforts. The homogeneous CO2 insertion into a nickel hydride complex to generate formate provides insight into the role of hydrogen as an active hydride form in the hydrogenation of CO2, which serves as a practicable approach for CO2 utilization. To parameterize the activities and to model the structure–activity relationship in the CO2 insertion into nickel hydride, the comprehensive mechanism of CO2 insertion into a series of square planar transition metal hydride (TM–H, TM = Ni, Pd, and Co) complexes was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) computations. The stepwise pathway with the TM-(H)-formate intermediate for the CO2 insertion into all seven square planar transition metal hydride (TM–H) complexes was observed. The overall rate-determining step (RDS) was the nucleophilic attraction of the terminal O atom on the Ni center in Ni-(H)-formate to form Ni-(O)-(exo)formate. The charge of the Ni atom in the axially vacant [Ni]+ complex was demonstrated as the dominant factor in CO2 insertion, which had an excellent linear correction (R2 = 0.967) with the Gibbs barrier (ΔG‡) of the RDS. The parameterized activities and modeled structure–activity relationship provided here light the way to the design of a more efficient Ni–H complex in the capture and utilization of CO2.

Abstract
The insertion of carbon dioxide into metal element σ-bonds is an important elementary step in many catalytic reactions for carbon dioxide valorization. Here, the insertion of carbon dioxide into a family of group 10 alkyl complexes of the type (RPBP)M(CH3) (RPBP = B(NCH2PR2)2C6H4−; R = Cy or tBu; M = Ni or Pd) to generate κ1-acetate complexes of the form (RPBP)M{OC(O)CH3} is investigated. This involved the preparation and characterization of a number of new complexes supported by the unusual RPBP ligand, which features a central boryl donor that exerts a strong trans-influence, and the identification of a new decomposition pathway that results in C–B bond formation. In contrast to other group 10 methyl complexes supported by pincer ligands, carbon dioxide insertion into (RPBP)M(CH3) is facile and occurs at room temperature because of the high trans-influence of the boryl donor. Given the mild conditions for carbon dioxide insertion, we perform a rare kinetic study on carbon dioxide insertion into a late-transition metal alkyl species using (tBuPBP)Pd(CH3). These studies demonstrate that the Dimroth–Reichardt parameter for a solvent correlates with the rate of carbon dioxide insertion and that Lewis acids do not promote insertion. DFT calculations indicate that insertion into (tBuPBP)M(CH3) (M = Ni or Pd) proceeds via an SE2 mechanism and we compare the reaction pathway for carbon dioxide insertion into group 10 methyl complexes with insertion into group 10 hydrides. Overall, this work provides fundamental insight that will be valuable for the development of improved and new catalysts for carbon dioxide utilization. The kinetics of carbon dioxide insertion into a pincer-supported palladium methyl complex are studied. The complex inserts carbon dioxide at room temperature, and we explore both solvent and Lewis acid effects on carbon dioxide insertion.![]()

Abstract
The free energy for hydride transfer reactions of transition metal hydrides is known to be influenced by solvent effects. The first-row transition metal hydride [HNi(dmpe)2][BF4] (dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane) has starkly different hydride transfer reactivities with CO2 in different solvents. A binary mixture of water and acetonitrile was used to tune the hydride transfer reactivity of HNi(dmpe)2+ with CO2 so that the free energy for this reaction approached zero. Various mole fractions of water were tested and a linear relationship between the hydride transfer free energy and solvent composition was established for 0-0.24 mole fraction of water. A deviation from linearity was found upon moving toward higher mole fractions of water. The tuning of the free energy for hydride transfer allowed HNi(dmpe)2+ to be used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2. The optimized catalyst conditions produced 58 turnovers at room temperature in 0.082 mole fraction of water using 60 atm of a 1:1 mixture of H2 to CO2 gas.

Abstract
The development of sustainable catalysts to get methanol from CO2 under milder conditions and without any additives is still considered an arduous task. In many instances, transition-metal-catalyzed carbon dioxide to formic acid formation is more facile than methanol formation. This article provides comprehensive density functional theoretic investigations of six new Mn(I)PNN complexes, which are designed to perform CO2 to methanol conversion under milder reaction conditions. All these six catalysts have similar structural features except at terminal nitrogen, -N (1), where adenine-inspired nitrogen heterocycles containing pyridine and pyrimidine moieties are attached to instill an electron withdrawing effect on the central metal and thus to facilitate dihydrogen polarization during the catalyst regeneration. All these computationally modeled Mn(I)PNN complexes demonstrate the promising catalytic activity to get methanol through cascade catalytic cycles at 298.15 K. The metal-ligand cooperative (MLC) as well as noncooperative (NC) pathways are investigated for each catalytic cycle. The NC pathway is the preferred pathway for formic acid and formaldehyde formation, whereas methanol formation proceeds through only the MLC pathway. Different nitrogen heterocycles attached to the -N (1) terminal manifested a considerable amount of impact on the Gibbs free energies, overall activation energies, and computed turnover frequencies (TOFs). Among all the catalysts, SPCAT02 provides excellent TOFs for HCO2H (500 151 h-1), HCHO (11 912 h-1), and CH3OH (2 372 400 h-1) formation at 50 °C. SPCAT04 is found to be a better catalyst for the selective formation of formic acid formation at room temperature than the rest of the catalysts. The computed TOF results are found reliable upon comparison with experimentally established catalysts. To establish the structure-activity relationship, the activation strain model and Fukui function calculations are performed on all the catalysts. Both these studies provide complementary results. The present study revealed a very important finding that a more electrophilic metal center could facilitate the CO2 hydrogenation reaction robustly. All computationally designed catalysts could be cheaper and better alternatives to convert CO2 to methanol under mild reaction conditions in an aqueous medium.

Abstract
CO2 insertion into tri(μ-hydrido)triiron(II) clusters ligated by a tris(β-diketiminate) cyclophane is demonstrated to be balanced by sterics for CO2 approach and hydride accessibility. Time-resolved NMR and UV-vis spectra for this reaction for a complex in which methoxy groups border the pocket of the hydride donor (Fe3H3L2, 4) result in a decreased activation barrier and increased kinetic isotope effect consistent with the reduced sterics. For the ethyl congener Fe3H3L1 (2), no correlation is found between rate and reaction solvent or added Lewis acids, implying CO2 coordination to an Fe center in the mechanism. The estimated hydricity (50 kcal/mol) based on observed H/D exchange with BD3 requires Fe-O bond formation in the product to offset an endergonic CO2 insertion. μ3-hydride coordination is noted to lower the activation barrier for the first CO2 insertion event in DFT calculations.

Abstract
We describe the hydrogenation of CO2 to formate catalyzed by a Ru(II) bis(protic N-heterocyclic carbene, p-NHC) phosphine complex [Ru(bpy)(MeCN)(PPh(p-NHC)2)](PF6)2 (1). Under catalytic conditions (20 μmol catalyst, 20 bar CO2, 60 bar H2, 5 mL THF, 140 °C, 16 h), the activity of 1 is limited only by the amount of K3PO4 present in the reaction, yielding a nearly 1:1 ratio of turnover number (TON) to equivalents of K3PO4 (relative to 1), with the highest TON = 8040. Additionally, analysis of the reaction solution post-run reveals the catalyst intact with no free ligand observed. Stoichiometric studies, including examination of unique carbamate and hydride complexes as relevant intermediates, were carried out to probe the operative mechanism and understand the importance of metal-ligand cooperativity in this system.

Abstract
Selective reduction of CO2 to formate represents an ongoing challenge in photoelectrocatalysis. To provide mechanistic insights, we investigate the kinetics of hydride transfer (HT) from a series of metal-free hydride donors to CO2. The observed dependence of experimental and calculated HT barriers on the thermodynamic driving force was modeled by using the Marcus hydride transfer formalism to obtain the insights into the effect of reorganization energies on the reaction kinetics. Our results indicate that even if the most ideal hydride donor were discovered, the HT to CO2 would exhibit sluggish kinetics (<100 turnovers per second at -0.1 eV driving force), indicating that the conventional HT may not be an appropriate mechanism for solar conversion of CO2 to formate. We propose that the conventional HT mechanism should not be considered for CO2 reduction catalysis and argue that the orthogonal HT mechanism, previously proposed to address thermodynamic limitations of this reaction, may also lead to lower kinetic barriers for CO2 reduction to formate.

Abstract
The complexes [LtBu Ni(OCO-κ2 O,C)]M3 [N(SiMe3 )2 ]2 (M=Li, Na, K), synthesized by deprotonation of a nickel formate complex [LtBu NiOOCH] with the corresponding amides M[N(SiMe3 )2 ], feature a NiII -CO2 2- core surrounded by Lewis-acidic cations (M+ ) and the influence of the latter on the behavior and reactivity was studied. The results point to a decrease of CO2 activation within the series Li, Na, and K, which is also reflected in the reactivity with Me3 SiOTf leading to the liberation of CO and formation of a Ni-OSiMe3 complex. Furthermore, in case of K+ , the {[K3 [N(SiMe3 )2 ]2 }+ shell around the Ni-CO2 2- entity was shown to have a large impact on its stabilization and behavior. If the number of K[N(SiMe3 )2 ] equivalents used in the reaction with [LtBu NiOOCH] is decreased from 3 to 0.5, the deprotonated part of the precursor enters a complex reaction sequence with formation of [LtBu NiI (μ-OOCH)NiI LtBu ]K and [LtBu Ni(C2 O4 )NiLtBu ]. The same reaction at higher concentrations additionally led to the formation of a unique hexanuclear NiII complex containing both oxalate and mesoxalate ([O2 C-CO2 -CO2 ]4- ) ligands.

Abstract
[Pt(depe)2](PF6)2 electrocatalyzes the reversible conversion between CO2 and HCO2- with high selectivity and low overpotential but low rates. A comprehensive kinetic analysis indicates the rate determining step for CO2 reduction is the reactivity of a Pt hydride intermediate to produce HCO2-. To accelerate catalysis, the use of cationic and hydrogen-bond donor additives are explored.

Abstract
Naturally occurring phyllosilicate minerals such as talc and vermiculite in conjunction with n-tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) co-catalyst were found to be efficient in the coupling of CO2 with epoxides to form cyclic carbonates. The reaction was carried out in a pressurized autoclave reactor at moderate pressures of 10-35 bars and temperatures of 100-150 °C. The optimized catalyst system exhibited > 90% conversion of the epoxides and > 90% selectivity for the desired cyclic carbonates, in the presence or absence of a solvent. The selectivity of the catalytic system could be improved with heat pre-treatment of the phyllosilicates albeit this resulted in slightly lower epoxide conversion. The results obtained using the heat treated phyllosilicates strongly support the hydrogen bond assisted mechanism for the cycloaddition of epoxides and CO2. The cycloaddition reaction could also be carried out in the absence of TBAB, although lower cyclic carbonate yields were observed. The phyllosilicate part of the catalyst system is heterogeneous, easy to separate after completion of reactions and reusable a number of runs without loss of activity.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid is of great importance due to its useful properties in the chemical industry. In this work, we have prepared a novel metal-organic framework (MOF), JMS-1, using bipyridyl dicarboxylate linkers, with molecular formula [La2(bpdc)3(DMF)3] n . Network analysis of JMS-1 revealed a new 7-connected topology (zaz). The MOF backbone of the activated phase (JMS-1a) was functionalized by cyclometalation using [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 to produce Ru(ii)@JMS-1a. Both JMS-1a and Ru(ii)@JMS-1a were able to convert CO2 in the presence of hydrogen to formate. Ru(ii)@JMS-1a displayed outstanding conversion evidenced by a yield of 98% of formate under optimized conditions of total pressure 50 bar (CO2/H2 = 1 : 4, temperature 110 °C, time 24 h, 5 mmol KOH, 8 mL ethanol). This work is significant in providing new strategies of incorporating active catalytic centres in MOFs for efficient and selective conversion of CO2 to formate.
