Synthesis and characterization of a four-coordinate nickel carbamato species (MeSiPiPr2)Ni(OC(O)NHMes) generated from the reaction of (MeSiPiPr2)Ni(NHMes) with CO2

To access efficient CO2 conversion chemistry, a 4-coordinate nickel species supported by an anionic silyl pincer ligand was prepared. Corresponding nickel(II) carbamato and carbonato species were generated from the CO2 reaction of a nickel amido species under anaerobic and aerobic conditions, respectively.144
