The reaction of a tripodal ligand (H2L) with a {S2N} donor-set with tri-iron dodecacarbonyl in toluene leads to the isolation of a diiron pentacarbonyl complex 1 as a model for the sub-site of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase. Protonation of this complex under CO (1 atm.) forms quantitatively the hexacarbonyl complex 2H+ with a pendant pyridinium group. Infrared spectroscopic investigations indicate that its pendant pyridinium group dissociates to give hexacarbonyl complex 2 which forms subsequently the pentacarbonyl complex 1. The electrochemistry of these complexes has been investigated. Complex 2H+ exhibits electrocatalysis on proton reduction at a potential more positive by over 200 mV compared to that for other neutral diiron hexacarbonyl complexes. This catalysis is enhanced under a CO atmosphere by freeing the bound base group which acts as a proton relay in the catalysis.

Copper(II), iron(II), and manganese(II) complexes of 2-methyl-2-(2- pyridinyl)-1,3-propanediamine (ppda) were synthesized and characterized. The reaction of copper(II), iron(II), or manganese(II) salts with ppda yields complexes [Cu(ppda)Cl2] (

Formaldehyde is an important precursor to numerous industrial processes and is produced in multimillion ton scale every year by catalytic oxidation of methanol in an energetically unfavorable and atom-inefficient industrial process. In this work, we present a highly selective one-step synthesis of a formaldehyde derivative starting from carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas utilizing a homogeneous ruthenium catalyst. Here, formaldehyde is obtained as dimethoxymethane, its dimethyl acetal, by selective reduction of carbon dioxide at moderate temperatures (90 °C) and partial pressures (90 bar H2/20 bar CO2) in the presence of methanol. Besides the desired product, only methyl formate is formed, which can be transformed to dimethoxymethane in a consecutive catalytic step. By comprehensive screening of the catalytic system, maximum turnover numbers of 786 for dimethoxymethane and 1290 for methyl formate were achieved with remarkable selectivities of over 90% for dimethoxymethane.
