η I ‐O‐coordinated CO 2 is thought to characterize the intermediate in Ni 0 ‐catalyzed coupling of CO 2 with unsaturated compounds such as ethylene. This is the conclusion derived from a sophisticated ab initio calculation on [Ni(NH 3 ) 2 (CO 2 )], on the basis of which the η 1 ‐O structure A is only 1.3 kcal mol −1 higher in energy than the ground state structure B despite considerable diradical character.
