Fig. 1. CO2 fixation in RuBisCO and synthesis of [Dy4(O2CNiPr2)12]. (a) Schematic representation of RuBisCO’s active site, the Mg2+ centre, after activation and capture of CO2 molecules and with the bound substrate ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. (b) Synthetic scheme of complex 1 showing CO2 activation, capture and complexation by the oxophilic lanthanide centres.
