Pyridine-oxazoline ligands are easily prepared, are resistant to reducing conditions, and offer great potential for derivatization in multiple sites. Metal complexes of pyridine-oxazoline ligands have been employed in a range of catalytic reactions, but only recently they have been used in the reduction of carbon dioxide. Here, we will highlight the advantages of using this ligand scaffold for CO2 reduction reactions. The presentation will particularly focus on our work on rhenium- and nickel-based catalysts.
