The abundance, low cost, and low toxicity of CO2 make it an attractive carbon source.[1] Nature succeeds in transforming CO2 into carbohydrates by photosynthesis,[2] but the reduction of this highly oxidized molecule is a significant challenge for chemists.[3] Following the pioneering studies of Sadighi et al.[4] and Kawagushi et al.,[5] it has been demonstrated that oxygen abstraction from CO2 can be achieved under rather mild ...
