Stoichiometric Reduction of CO₂ to CO by Aluminum‐Based Frustrated Lewis Pairs

Abstract

Reducing frustration: The reaction of Mes3P(CO2)(AlI3)2 in the presence of a CO2 atmosphere results in the formation of Mes3P(CO2)(O(AlI2)2)(AlI3) and [Mes3PI][AlI4] (Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2) with the evolution of CO.
