Two-coordinate copper(I) acetate and copper(I) methyl complexes, bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) supporting ligand, have been synthesized and structurally characterized, and the stability of the monodentate acetate has been examined by DFT calculations. The methyl complex readily inserts carbon dioxide at ambient temperature and pressure, regenerating the acetate in near-quantitative yield.
