At room temperature and ambient pressure , the complex 1 catalyzes the reduction of methylviologen MV 2+ with CO/H 2 O. The metal center and ligand coordination sphere suspected to be the active site of the enzyme CO dehydrogenase are present in 1 , the catalytic activity of 1 , like that of the biological system, is inhibited by CN − and MeI, and in the absence of MV 2+ a Ni 1 complex is formed. Complex 1 also catalyzes the oxidation of CO to CO 2 in air.
