The first examples of stable metal complexes with coordinated ethylene and carbon dioxide ligands are reported. Reaction of tris(ethylene) complexes <i>mer</i>-M(C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>(PNP) (M = Mo and W; PNP = 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) with CO<sub>2</sub> yields the corresponding, mixed <i>cis</i>-M(C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(CO<sub>2</sub>)(PNP) derivatives. X-ray studies reveal six-coordinate structures exhibiting η<sup>2</sup>-ethylene and κ<sup> ...[more]
