Reductive deoxygenation of CO2 by a bimetallic titanium bis(pentalene) complex.
The bimetallic bis(pentalene) complex (μ:η(5),η(5)-Pn(†))2Ti2 reductively splits CO2 to form a bis(oxo) bridged dimer [(η(8)-Pn(†))Ti(μ-O)]2, in which the Ti-Ti bond has been cleaved, and the dicarbonyl complex (μ:η(5),η(5)-Pn(†))2[Ti(CO)]2.
