Abstract
The reactive organometallic trifluoromethanesulphonato (CF3SO3 –) complex fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3CF3SO3(bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) has neen used as a basis for the synthesis of the series of complexes fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3X (X = H, O2CH, and O2COH) all of which are involved in the reduction of CO2; the hydrido complex has been found to undergo a slow thermal reaction with CO2 to give the formato complex, a reaction which is greatly enhanced by visible light.Keywords
