Abstract
Converting CO2 into useful chemicals using metal catalysts is a significant challenge in chemistry. Among the various catalysts reported, transition metal lanthanide hybrid {3d-4f} complexes stand out for their superior efficiency and site selectivity. However, unlike transition metal catalysts, understanding the origin of this efficiency in lanthanides poses a challenge due to their orbital degeneracy, rendering the application of DFT methods ineffective. In this study, we employed a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio CASSCF/RASSI-SO calculations to explore the mechanism of CO2 conversion to cyclic carbonate using a 3d-4f heterometallic catalyst for the first time. This work unveils the importance of 3d and 4f metal cooperativity and the role of individual spin-orbit states in dictating the overall efficiency of the catalyst.

Abstract
Herein, we report the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to sodium formate catalyzed by low-valent molybdenum phosphine complexes. The 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (DPPP)-based Mo complex was found to be an efficient catalyst in the presence of NaOH affording formate with a TON of 975 at 130 °C in THF/H2O after 24 h utilizing 40 bar (CO2 : H2 = 10 : 30) pressure. The complex was also active in the hydrogenation of sodium bicarbonate and inorganic carbonates to the corresponding formates. Mechanistic investigation revealed that the reaction proceeded via an intermediate formato complex.

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
Metal hydride complexes are essential intermediates in hydrogenation reactions. The hydride-donor ability determines the scope of use of these complexes. We present a new, simple mass-spectrometry method to study the hydride-donor ability of metal hydrides using a series of 18 iron, cobalt, and nickel complexes with N- and P-based ligands (L). The mixing of [(L)MII(OTf)2] with NaBH4 forms [(L)MII(BH4)]+ (M = Fe, Co, Ni) that can be detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Energy-resolved collision-induced dissociations of [(L)MII(BH4)]+ provide threshold energies (ΔECID) for the formations of [(L)MII(H)]+ that correlate well with the hydride donor ability of the metal hydride complexes. We studied the vibrational and electronic spectra of the generated metal hydrides, assigned their structure and spin state, and demonstrated a good correlation between ΔECID and the M-H stretching vibration frequencies. The ΔECID also correlates with reaction rates for hydride transfer reactivity in the gas phase and known reactivity trends in the solution phase.

Abstract
Manganese(I) carbonyl complexes bearing a MACHO-type ligand (HN(CH2 CH2 PR2 )2 ) readily react in their amido form with CO2 to generate 4-membered {Mn-N-C-O} metallacycles. The stability of the adducts decreases with the steric demand of the R groups at phosphorous (R=isopropyl>adamantyl). The CO2 -adducts display generally a lower reactivity as compared to the parent amido complexes. These adducts can thus be interpretated as masked forms of the active amido catalysts and potentially play important roles as off-loop species or branching points in catalytic transformations of carbon dioxide.

Abstract
Reversible hydrogen storage in the form of stable and mostly harmless chemical substances such as formic acid (FA) is a cornerstone of a fossil fuels-free economy. In the past, we have reported a primary amine-functionalized bifunctional iridium(III)-PC(sp3 )P pincer complex as a mild and chemoselective catalyst for the additive-free decomposition of neat formic acid. In this manuscript, we report on the successful application of a redesigned complex bearing tertiary amine functionality as a catalyst for mild hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid. The catalyst demonstrates TON up to 6×104 and TOF up to 1.7×104 h-1 . In addition to the practical value of the catalyst, experimental and computational mechanistic studies provide the rationale for the design of improved next-generation catalysts.

Abstract
The development of alternative clean energy carriers is a key challenge for our society. Carbon-based hydrogen storage materials are well-suited to undergo reversible (de)hydrogenation reactions and the development of catalysts for the individual process steps is crucial. In the current state, noble metal-based catalysts still dominate this field. Here, a system for partially reversible and carbon-neutral hydrogen storage and release is reported. It is based on the dual-functional roles of formamides and uses a small molecule Fe-pincer complex as the catalyst, showing good stability and reusability with high productivity. Starting from formamides, quantitative production of CO-free hydrogen is achieved at high selectivity ( > 99.9%). This system works at modest temperatures of 90 °C, which can be easily supplied by the waste heat from e.g., proton-exchange membrane fuel cells. Employing such system, we achieve >70% H2 evolution efficiency and >99% H2 selectivity in 10 charge-discharge cycles, avoiding undesired carbon emission between cycles.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce formic acid (HCOOH) in base-free condition can avoid waste producing and simplify product separation process. However, it remains a big challenge because of the unfavorable energy in both thermodynamics and dynamics. Herein, we report the selective and efficient hydrogenation of CO2 to HCOOH under neutral conditions with imidazolium chloride ionic liquid as the solvent, catalyzed by a heterogeneous Ir/PPh3 compound. The heterogeneous catalyst is more effective than the homogeneous one because it is inert in catalyzing the decomposition of product. A turnover number (TON) of 12700 can be achieved, and HCOOH with a purity of 99.5% can be isolated by distillation because of the non-volatility of the solvent. Both the catalyst and imidazolium chloride can be recycled at least 5 times with stable reactivity.

Abstract
In order to develop efficient protocols for CO2 reduction with less expensive and more convenient hydrogen sources, the catalytic reactivities of group 10 metal hydride complexes supported by a PNCNP pincer ligand, [2,6-(tBu2PNH)2C6H3]MH (M = Ni, 1a; Pd, 1b; Pt, 1c), against the hydroboration of CO2 with NH3·BH3 and NaBH4 have been explored. Both 1a and 1b readily react with CO2 at room temperature to form the corresponding formato complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PNH)2C6H3]MOC(O)H (M = Ni, 2a; Pd, 2b), in nearly quantitative yields. Treatment of NH3·BH3 with CO2 (1 atm) in 1,4-dioxane or THF at room temperature in the presence of 0.05-1.0 mol % of 1b followed by hydrolysis of the resulting mixtures produces formic acid in 105-186% yields, and initial turnover frequencies of up to 2000 h-1 are observed. In the presence of 1.0 mol % of 1b, NaBH4 reacts with CO2 (1 atm) in THF at room temperature to form NaB[OC(O)H]4 (3) in 87% isolated yield. In situ NMR spectroscopy indicates that the reactions proceed through the insertion of the C═O bond in CO2 into the Pd-H bond in 1b to form 2b, which sequentially reacts with the hydrides in NH3·BH3 or NaBH4 to produce boron formato species and regenerate 1b. This work represents one of the rare examples of catalytic transfer hydrogenation of CO2 with NH3·BH3 to the formic acid level under very mild conditions without any additives and also the first example of 4 equiv of CO2 uptake by NaBH4 in a reaction.

Abstract
High catalytic activities of Ru-PNP [Ru = ruthenium; PNP = bis alkyl- or aryl ethylphosphinoamine complexes in ionic liquids (ILs) were obtained for the reversible hydrogenation of CO2 and dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) under exceedingly mild conditions and without sacrificial additives. The novel catalytic system relies on the synergic combination of Ru-PNP and IL and proceeds with CO2 hydrogenation already at 25 °C under a continuous flow of 1 bar of CO2/H2 (1:5), leading to 14 mol % FA with respect to the IL. A pressure of 40 bar of CO2/H2 (1:1) provides 126 mol % of FA/IL corresponding to a space-time yield (STY) of FA of 0.15 mol L-1 h-1. The conversion of CO2 contained in imitated biogas was also achieved at 25 °C. Furthermore, the Ru-PNP/IL system catalyzes FA dehydrogenation with average turnover frequencies up to 11,000 h-1 under heat-integrated conditions for proton-exchange membrane fuel cell applications (<100 °C). Thus, 4 mL of a 0.005 M Ru-PNP/IL system converted 14.5 L FA over 4 months with a turnover number exceeding 18,000,000 and a STY of CO2 and H2 of 35.7 mol L-1 h-1. Finally, 13 hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycles were achieved with no sign of deactivation. These results demonstrate the potential of the Ru-PNP/IL system to serve as a FA/CO2 battery, a H2 releaser, and a hydrogenative CO2 converter.

Abstract
Using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations, various elementary steps in the mechanism of the reductive hydroboration of CO2 to two-electron-reduced boryl formate, four-electron-reduced bis(boryl)acetal, and six-electron-reduced methoxy borane by the [Fe(H)2(dmpe)2] catalyst were established. The replacement of hydride by oxygen ligation after the boryl formate insertion step is the rate-determining step. Our work unveils, for the first time, (i) how a substrate steers product selectivity in this reaction and (ii) the importance of configurational mixing in contracting the kinetic barrier heights. Based on the reaction mechanism established, we have further focused on the effect of other metals, such as Mn and Co, on rate-determining steps and on catalyst regeneration.

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
Iron dihydride complexes are key intermediates in many iron-catalyzed reactions. Previous efforts to study molecules of this type have led to the discovery of a remarkably stable cis-FeH2 complex, which is supported by bis[2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenyl]phosphine (iPrPPHP) along with CO. In this work, the hydrogen on the central phosphorus has been replaced with a methyl group, and the corresponding iron carbonyl dichloride, hydrido chloride, and dihydride complexes have been synthesized. The addition of the methyl group favors the anti configuration for the Me-P-Fe-H moiety and the trans geometry for the H-Fe-CO motif, which is distinctively different from the iPrPPHP system. Furthermore, it increases the thermal stability of the dihydride complex, cis-(iPrPPMeP)Fe(CO)H2 (iPrPPMeP = bis[2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenyl]methylphosphine). The variations in stereochemistry and compound stability contribute greatly to the differences between the two PPP systems in reactions with PhCHO, CS2, and HCO2H.

Abstract
We report here a feasible hydrogen storage and release process by interconversion of readily available (bi)carbonate and formate salts in the presence of naturally occurring α-amino acids. These transformations are of interest for the concept of a circular carbon economy. The use of inorganic carbonate salts for hydrogen storage and release is also described for the first time. Hydrogenation of these substrates proceeds with high formate yields in the presence of specific manganese pincer catalysts and glutamic acid. Based on this, cyclic hydrogen storage and release processes with carbonate salts succeed with good H2 yields.

Abstract
The traditional economy based on carbon-intensive fuels and materials has led to an exponential rise in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Outpacing the natural carbon cycle, atmospheric CO2 levels increased by 50 % since the pre-industrial age and can be directly linked to global warming. Being at the core of the proposed methanol economy pioneered by the late George A. Olah, the chemical recycling of CO2 to produce methanol, a green fuel and feedstock, is a prime channel to achieve carbon neutrality. In this direction, homogeneous catalytic systems have lately been a major focus for methanol synthesis from CO2 , CO and their derivatives as potential low-temperature alternatives to the commercial processes. This Review provides an account of this rapidly growing field over the past decade, since its resurgence in 2011. Based on the critical assessment of the progress thus far, the present key challenges in this field have been highlighted and potential directions have been suggested for practically viable applications.

Abstract
A portfolio of value-added chemicals, fuels and building block compounds can be envisioned from CO2 on an industrial scale. The high kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities of CO2, however, present a significant barrier to its utilisation as a C1 source. In this context, metal-ligand cooperation methodologies have emerged as one of the most dominant strategies for the transformation of the CO2 molecule over the last decade or so. This review focuses on the advancements in CO2 transformation using these cooperative methodologies. Different and well-studied ligand cooperation methodologies, such as dearomatisation-aromatisation type cooperation, bimetallic cooperation (M⋯M'; M' = main group or transition metal) and other related strategies are also discussed. Furthermore, the cooperative bond activations are subdivided based on the number of atoms connecting the reactive centre in the ligand framework (spacer/linker length) and the transition metal. Several similarities across these seemingly distinct cooperative methodologies are emphasised. Finally, this review brings out the challenges ahead in developing catalytic systems from these CO2 transformations.

Abstract
![]()
The development of
an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for storing
H2 into CO2 and releasing it from the produced
formic acid, when needed, is a crucial target for overcoming some
intrinsic criticalities of green hydrogen exploitation, such as high
flammability, low density, and handling. Herein, we report an efficient
heterogeneous catalyst for both reactions prepared by immobilizing
a molecular iridium organometallic catalyst onto a high-surface mesoporous
silica, through a sol–gel methodology. The presence of tailored
single-metal catalytic sites, derived by a suitable choice of ligands
with desired steric and electronic characteristics, in combination
with optimized support features, makes the immobilized catalyst highly
active. Furthermore, the information derived from multinuclear DNP-enhanced
NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and Ir L3-edge XAS
indicates the formation of cationic iridium sites. It is quite remarkable
to note that the immobilized catalyst shows essentially the same catalytic
activity as its molecular analogue in the hydrogenation of CO2. In the reverse reaction of HCOOH dehydrogenation, it is
approximately twice less active but has no induction period. We report the synthesis of a heterogeneous
immobilized catalyst
(Ir_PicaSi_SiO2) and its successful
application in aqueous CO2 hydrogenation and FA dehydrogenation.

Abstract
PNP-pincer-stabilized iron carbonyl dihydride complexes are key intermediates in catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions; however, decomposition through these intermediates has been observed. This inspires the development of a PPP-pincer system that may show improved catalyst stability. In this work, bis[2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenyl]phosphine (or iPrPPHP) is used to react with FeCl2 under a carbon monoxide (CO) atmosphere to yield trans-(iPrPPHP)Fe(CO)Cl2. A subsequent reaction with NaBH4 produces syn/anti-(iPrPPHP)FeH(CO)Cl or cis,anti-(iPrPPHP)Fe(CO)H2, depending on the amount of NaBH4 employed. The cis-dihydride complex shows catalytic activity for the conversion of PhCHO to PhCH2OH (under H2) or PhCO2CH2Ph (under Ar). It also catalyzes the dehydrogenation of PhCH2OH to PhCHO and PhCO2CH2Ph, albeit with limited turnover numbers. A more efficient catalytic process is the dehydrogenation of formic acid to carbon dioxide (CO2), which can operate under additive-free conditions. Mechanistic investigation suggests that the cis-dihydride complex undergoes protonation with formic acid to release H2 while forming anti-(iPrPPHP)FeH(CO)(OCHO)·HCO2H, in which the CO ligand has shifted and the formate is hydrogen-bonded to formic acid. The hydrido formate complex loses CO2 under ambient conditions, completing the catalytic cycle by reforming the cis-dihydride complex.

Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of substituents in PNP-type ruthenium complexes in the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formate using the DFT method. Six groups were considered as substituents linked to the P atom of the PNP ligand: hydrogen, methyl, iso-propyl, tert-butyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. The substituent effects were analyzed from the perspectives of steric hindrance and promotion of hydrogen bonding. With the joint functions of steric hindrance and hydrogen bonding promotion during the CO2 coordination step, hydride addition step, and HCOO− rotation step, these groups exhibited very different substituent effects. The results showed that the methyl group was the most favorable substituent when the solvent’s effects were not included, as it formed hydrogen bonding with relatively weak steric hindrance. The second favorable substituent was the iso-propyl group, while the tert-butyl group was the most unfavorable one, due to remarkable steric hindrance. When the substituent was cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl, the complex provided a wider open space for the reaction compared with the tert-butyl-substituted complex, because cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl are cyclic groups. Therefore, the principle for choosing the substituent in PNP-type complexes allowing the design of highly efficient catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation indicates that more hydrogen atoms but wider open space are ideal. In addition, the substituent’s effects can be markedly impacted by the solvent used.

Abstract
Our modern civilization is currently standing at a crossroads due to excessive emission of anthropogenic CO2 leading to adverse climate change effects. Hence, a proper CO2 management strategy, including appropriate CO2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), has become a prime concern globally. On the other hand, C1 chemicals such as methanol (CH3OH) and formic acid (HCOOH) have emerged as leading materials for a wide range of applications in various industries, including chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and even energy sectors. Hence, there is a concerted effort to bridge the gap between CO2 management and methanol/formic acid production by employing CO2 as a C1-synthon. CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and formic acid has emerged as one of the primary routes for directly converting CO2 to a copious amount of methanol and formate, which is typically catalyzed by transition metal complexes. In this frontier article, we have primarily discussed the abundant first-row transition metal-driven hydrogenation reaction that has exhibited a significant surge in activity over the past few years. We have also highlighted the potential future direction of the research while incorporating a comparative analysis for the competitive second and third-row transition metal-based hydrogenation.

Abstract
Computational modeling at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/CBS//M06-L/def2-TZVP level of theory was used to propose four different iron catalysts whose structures were inspired on the [Fe]-hydrogenase active site: [Fe(MePNNHNP)(acmp)] (C(1), MePNNHNP = 2,6-bis(dimethylphosphine), acmp = acylmethylpyridine), [Fe(CNNHNC)(acmp)] (C(2), CNNHNC = 2,6-bis(methylimidazol-2-ylidene)), [Fe(MePNNNP)(acmp)] (D(1), MePNNNP = 2,6-bis((dimethylphosphine)pyridine)), and [Fe(CNNNC)(acmp)] (D(2), CNNNC = 2,6-bis((methylimidazol-2-ylidene) pyridine)). Through these electronic structure calculations, the catalytic mechanism of the reaction was explored. The intermediates and transition states present along the reaction coordinate were identified and described as to their equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, and energies. Quasi-harmonic corrections were performed considering conditions analogous to those used experimentally. To compare the catalytic activities of the studied catalysts, turnover frequencies (TOFs) were calculated. Based on the explored catalytic cycles and TOF values (D(1) > C(1) > D(2) > C(2)), the most suitable iron catalysts are those with tridentate phosphine pincer-type ligands coordinated to the metal center. These systems are new promising iron catalysts to promote the CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid without any use of bases or additives.

Abstract
Abstract
The requirement of running a new generation of fuel production is inevitable due to the limitation of oil production from reservoirs. On the other hand, enhancing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere brings global warming phenomenon and leads to catastrophic disasters such as drought and flooding. Conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol can compensate for the liquid fuel requirement and mitigate CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. In this review, we surveyed the recent works on homogeneous hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH and investigated the experimental results in detail. We categorized the CO2 hydrogenation works based on the environment of the reaction, including neutral, acidic, and basic conditions, and discussed the effects of solvents’ properties on the experimental results. This review provides a perspective on the previous studies in this field, which can assist the researchers in selecting the proper catalyst and solvent for homogenous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol.

Abstract
A novel pincer ligand, iPrPNPhP [PhN(CH2CH2PiPr2)2], which is an analogue of the versatile MACHO ligand, iPrPNHP [HN(CH2CH2PiPr2)2], was synthesized and characterized. The ligand was coordinated to ruthenium, and a series of hydride-containing complexes were isolated and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopies, as well as X-ray diffraction. Comparisons to previously published analogues ligated by iPrPNHP and iPrPNMeP [CH3N(CH2CH2PiPr2)2] illustrate that there are large changes in the coordination chemistry that occur when the nitrogen substituent of the pincer ligand is altered. For example, ruthenium hydrides supported by the iPrPNPhP ligand always form the syn isomer (where syn/anti refer to the relative orientation of the group on nitrogen and the hydride ligand on ruthenium), whereas complexes supported by iPrPNHP form the anti isomer and complexes supported by iPrPNMeP form a mixture of syn and anti isomers. We evaluated the impact of the nitrogen substituent of the pincer ligand in catalysis by comparing a series of iPrPNRP (R = H, Me, Ph)-ligated ruthenium hydride complexes as catalysts for formic acid dehydrogenation and carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation to formate. The iPrPNPhP-ligated species is the most active for formic acid dehydrogenation, and mechanistic studies suggest that this is likely because there are kinetic advantages for catalysts that operate via the syn isomer. In CO2 hydrogenation, the iPrPNPhP-ligated species is again the most active under our optimal conditions, and we report some of the highest turnover frequencies for homogeneous catalysts. Experimental and theoretical insights into the turnover-limiting step of catalysis provide a basis for the observed trends in catalytic activity. Additionally, the stability of our complexes enabled us to detect a previously unobserved autocatalytic effect involving the base that is added to drive the reaction. Overall, by modifying the nitrogen substituent on the MACHO ligand, we have developed highly active catalysts for formic acid dehydrogenation and CO2 hydrogenation and also provided a framework for future catalyst development.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide utilization is necessary to reduce carbon footprint and also to synthesize value-added chemicals. The transition metal pincer complexes are attractive catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formic acid. There is a need to understand the factors affecting the catalytic performance of these pincer complexes through a structure-activity relationship study using computational methods. It is a well-established fact that aromatic functionalities offer stability and selectivity to transition metal catalysts. However, their impact on the performance of the catalysts is lesser known in the case of metal pincer complexes. Hence, it is necessary to investigate the catalytic performance of Mn(I)NNN pincer complexes with variably activated aromatic functionalities. In this context, 15 catalysts are designed by placing different types of aromatic rings at the pincer carbons and two terminal nitrogen of Mn(I)NNN pincer complexes. A benzene moiety, placed at C2-C3 carbons of Mn(I)NNN pincer complex with identical aromatic groups at the terminal nitrogen, is found to be most efficient toward CO2 hydrogenation than the rest of the catalysts. On the other hand, when N,N-dimethyl aniline is placed at C2-C3 carbons of Mn(I)NNN pincer complexes, then the catalytic performance is significantly decreased. Thus, the present study unravels the impact of aromatic groups in Mn(I)NNN pincer complexes toward the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide.

Abstract
To explore alternative approaches to the CO2 reduction to formate and provide an insight into the spin state effect on the CO2 reduction, we theoretically designed a kind of low-valence iron(I) model complex, whose doublet, quartet, and sextet states are denoted as 2 Fe(I), 4 Fe(I), and 6 Fe(I), respectively. This complex is featured with an iron(I) center, which bonds to a 1,2-ethanediamine (en) and a 2-hydroxy-biphenyl group. Reaction mechanisms for the CO2 reduction to formate catalyzed by this iron(I) model complex were explored using density functional theory (DFT) computations. Studies showed that the univalent iron(I) compound can efficiently fix and activate a CO2 molecule, whereas its oxidized forms with trivalent iron(III) or bivalent iron(II) cannot activate CO2. For the iron(I) compound, it was found that the lowest spin state 2 Fe(I) is the most favorable for the CO2 reduction as the reactions barriers involving 2 Fe(I), 4 Fe(I), and 6 Fe(I) are 25.6, 37.2, and 35.9 kcal/mol, respectively. Yet, a photosensitizer-free visible-light-mediated high-low spin shift from 4 Fe(I) and 6 Fe(I) to 2 Fe(I) is likely through the reverse intersystem crossing (RIC) because the 4 Fe(I) and 6 Fe(I) compounds have strong absorption in the visible-light range. Notably, the synergistic interaction between the hydrogen bonding from the auxiliary hydroxyl group in the 2-hydroxy-biphenyl moiety to CO2 and an intermediate five-membered ring promotes the proton transfer, leading to the formation of the -COOH moiety from CO2 and the Fe-O bond. With the addition of H2, one H2 molecule is split by the Fe-O bond and thus serves as H atom sources for both the CO2 reduction and the recovery of the auxiliary hydroxyl group. The present theoretical study provides a novel solution for the challenging CO2 reduction, which calls for further experimental verifications.

Abstract
The selective hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to either the formic acid, formaldehyde, or methanol level using a molecular cobalt(II) triazine complex can be controlled based on reaction parameters such as temperature, CO2 pressure, and concentration. Here, we rationalize the catalytic mechanism that enables the selective arrival at each product platform. Key reactive intermediates were prepared and spectroscopically characterized, while the catalytic mechanism and the energy profile were analyzed with density functional theory (DFT) methods and microkinetic modeling. It transpired that the stepwise reduction of CO2 involves three consecutive catalytic cycles, including the same cobalt(I) triazine hydride complex as the active species. The increasing kinetic barriers associated with each reduction step and the competing hydride transfer steps in the three cycles corroborate the strong influence of the catalyst environment on the product selectivity. The fundamental mechanistic insights provide a consistent description of the catalytic system and rationalize, in particular, the experimentally verified opportunity to steer the reaction toward the formaldehyde product as the chemically most challenging reduction level.

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
The hydroboration of aldehydes, ketones and CO2 is demonstrated using a cheap and air stable [Fe(salen)]2-μ-oxo pre-catalyst with pinacolborane (HBpin) as the reductant under mild conditions. This catalyst system chemoselectively hydroborates aldehydes over ketones and ketones over alkenes. In addition, the [Fe(salen)2]-μ-oxo pre-catalyst shows good efficacy at reducing "wet" CO2 with HBpin at room temperature.
