The production of CO from CO2 is an attractive route to the utilization of CO2 as a C1 source. The work presented here describes our studies related to the homogeneous reverse water-gas shift reaction for the purpose of converting CO2 into more useful C1 products. The CO2 to C1 conversion was investigated by utilizing M(dmpe)2(PF6)2 (M=Ni, Pt) in tandem with redox-active iron-pyridinediimine (Fe-PDI) complexes. A series of internal (pendant) and external bases of proper pKa were investigated for their propensity to mediate the heterolytic cleavage of hydrogen gas into the corresponding metal hydride. The resulting hydride transfer reactions to multiple variants of the FePDI scaffold were investigated under CO2 as a route to form CO2-derived C1 products.
