A portfolio of value-added chemicals, fuels and building block compounds can be envisioned from CO on an industrial scale. The high kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities of CO, however, present a significant barrier to its utilisation as a C1 source. In this context, metal-ligand cooperation methodologies have emerged as one of the most dominant strategies for the transformation of the CO molecule over the last decade or so. This review focuses on the advancements in CO transformation using these cooperative methodologies. Different and well-studied ligand cooperation methodologies, such as dearomatisation-aromatisation type cooperation, bimetallic cooperation (M⋯M'; M' = main group or transition metal) and other related strategies are also discussed. Furthermore, the cooperative bond activations are subdivided based on the number of atoms connecting the reactive centre in the ligand framework (spacer/linker length) and the transition metal. Several similarities across these seemingly distinct cooperative methodologies are emphasised. Finally, this review brings out the challenges ahead in developing catalytic systems from these CO transformations.
从工业规模的 CO 中可以设想出一系列增值化学品、燃料和建筑块化合物。然而，CO 的高动力学和热力学稳定性对其作为 C1 源的利用构成了重大障碍。在这种情况下，金属配体协同方法已成为过去十年左右 CO 分子转化的最主要策略之一。本综述重点介绍了使用这些协同方法进行 CO 转化的进展。还讨论了不同且经过充分研究的配体协同方法，如去芳构化-芳构化型协同、双金属协同（M⋯M'；M'=主族或过渡金属）和其他相关策略。此外，根据连接配体框架中反应中心的原子数量（间隔物/连接体长度）和过渡金属对协同键活化进行了细分。强调了这些看似不同的协同方法之间的几个相似之处。最后，本综述提出了从这些 CO 转化中开发催化系统所面临的挑战。
