Unique self‐assembled macrocyclic multinuclear Zn II and Ni II complexes with binaphthyl‐bipyridyl ligands (L) were synthesized. X‐ray analysis revealed that these complexes consisted of an outer ring (Zn 3 L 3 or Ni 3 L 3 ) and an inner core (Zn 2 or Ni). In the Zn II complex, the inner Zn 2 part rotated rapidly inside the outer ring in solution on an NMR timescale. These complexes exhibited dual catalytic activities for CO 2 fixations: synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO 2 and temperature‐switched N ‐formylation/ N ‐methylation of amines with CO 2 and hydrosilane.
