Team work : Although CO 2 binding to metal centers usually involves π coordination to a CO group or σ bonds to the carbon or oxygen atom of the CO 2 molecule, a new mode of metal–ligand cooperative activation of CO 2 to a ruthenium PNP pincer complex involving aromatization/dearomatization steps is presented in experimental and theoretical studies (see scheme).
