Abstract

New Ru and Zn diazafluorenyl complexes undergo C–H borylation of the diazafluorenyl ligand to form the corresponding diazafluorenylboronic ester complexes, which can insert CO₂ into their C–B bonds to form boryl ester functionalities. The relevance of these new reactivities towards catalytic CO₂ reduction has also been explored.
