Amidst concerns over increasing CO2 emissions, worldwide energy consumption is projected to nearly double over the next 30 years.  To meet growing worldwide demands for energy without further increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, it will be necessary to more effectively utilize non-petroleum based feedstocks. One attractive renewable feedstock is CO2 itself, which could be reduced using photochemical or electrical energy to fuels or other valuable chemicals.  The synthesis of a series of non-innocent ligand supported transition metal (Ni, Co, Fe) complexes and an assessment of their catalytic activity with H2 and CO2 will be reported.
