We report on new metal complexes as catalysts for the efficient transformation of CO2 into formic acid employing basic ionic liquids as buffering media. Remarkably, these composite mobilize the hydrogenation of CO2 without employing strong bases, which improves the sustainability of the method in comparison to common base-mediated technologies. The molecular catalyst design relies on donor-flexible and pseudo versatile pyridylidene amide (PYA) ligands which enable the ligand architecture to be varied during a controlled manner to understand valuable insights for the improvement of catalyst performance. Modification of the binding properties directly influences the catalytic process by shifting the turnover limiting step, the reaction mechanism, and thus the steadiness upon the acidification of the reaction media and provide access to high-performance systems reaching turnover numbers of several thousands and turnover frequencies up to 350 h−1.
