Reductive cyclotrimerization of carbon monoxide to the deltate dianion by an organometallic uranium complex.

Despite the long history of the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, carbon monoxide has proven remarkably resistant to selective homologation under mild conditions. Here, we find that an organouranium(III) complex induces efficient reductive trimerization of carbon monoxide at room temperature and pressure. T...
