The 16-electron amide complex, Ru[(R,R)TsNCHPhCHPhNH](eta(6)-p-cymene) (Ts=p-toluenesulfonyl,Ph=C6H5) readily reacts with formic acid to give the corresponding formate complex, which subsequently undergoes decarboxylation leading to the hydride complex with release Of CO2. The reaction of this hydride complex with CO2 under mild reaction conditions, a pressure of 10 atm and even at -78degreesC, proceeds rapidly to give the corresponding formate complex almost quantitatively. Thus, the reversible decarboxylation and carboxylation takes place with or without the aid of a metal-NH bifunctional effect of the Ru complexes.
