The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is of great interest for its potential as a hydrogen storage method and to use carbon dioxide as C-1 feedstock. In an effort to replace expensive noble metal-based catalysts with efficient and cheap earth-abundant counterparts, we report the first example of Mn(i)-catalysed hydrogenation of CO<sub>2</sub> to HCOOH. The hydride Mn(i) catalyst [Mn(PNP<sup>NH</sup>-<i>i</i>Pr)(H)(CO)<sub>2</sub>] showed higher stability and activity than its Fe(ii) analogue ...[more]
