Abstract

The radical anion CO is formed by photochemical reduction of CO2 mediated by the redox-active Ni3 cluster 1, as shown recently by Kubiak et al. The CO radical ion can be trapped with cyclohexene to yield cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid with the formation of two new CC bonds. This reaction is an important step towards the use of CO2 as a building block for chemical synthesis in solution.
