Abstract

Current examples of carbon chain production from metal formyl intermediates with homogeneous metal complexes are described in this Minireview. Mechanistic aspects of these reactions as well as the challenges and opportunities in using this understanding to develop new reactions of CO and H₂ are also discussed.

Keywords: Carbon Monoxide; Ethenediolate; Fischer Tropsch; Homologation; Metal Formyl.
