Reductive disproportionation of carbon dioxide by a sm(II) complex: unprecedented f-block element reactivity giving a carbonate complex.
A macrocyclic organosamarium(II) complex has been shown to provide the first example of the reductive disproportionation of carbon dioxide, giving a bimetallic carbonate complex and carbon monoxide in a facile reaction under ambient conditions.
