Donor–acceptor systems for CO2 activation combining a formally zero-valent group 6 metal as the donor with the Lewis acid Al(C6F5)3 (AlCF) are reported. They were obtained from AlCF adducts of N2-complexes by N2-to-CO2 substitution. One species was capable of C–O cleavage. The boron analogues led to intractable mixtures.
