Abstract

A dearomatized PN³P*–nickel hydride complex has been prepared using an oxidative addition process. The first nickel-catalyzed hydrosilylation of CO₂ to methanol has been achieved, with unprecedented turnover numbers. Selective methylation and formylation of amines with CO₂ were demonstrated by such a PN³P*–nickel hydride complex, highlighting its versatile functions in CO₂ reduction.
