What is Ni-NHC Catalysis for CO2 to Formate about?
The study investigates the mechanism of CO2 reduction to formate using NiII-NHC complexes, revealing that a NiII-hydride intermediate efficiently transfers hydride to CO2, bypassing the conventional insertion pathway. DFT calculations indicate that the NiII-hydride has a significantly lower thermodynamic hydricity compared to NiIII-hydride, enhancing its reactivity for formate production. The findings provide insights into optimizing reaction conditions for improved selectivity and efficiency in CO2 reducti
