Reductive Disproportionation of Carbon Dioxide by Dianionic Carbonylmetalates of the Transition Metals

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00244a017

Carbon dioxide reacts readily with M2 (M=Li, Na, K, M'=W; M=K, M'=Cr, Mo, W) to give the corresponding group 6 hexacarbonyls and alkali metal carbonates.The reaction of Li2 with excess 13CO2 at -78 deg C gives , con
