  1. The metallo-formate anions, M(CO 2 ) − , M = Ni, Pd, and Pt, were formed by electron-induced CO 2 activation. They were generated by laser vaporization and characterized by a combination of mass spectrometry, anion photoelectron spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. While neutral transition metal atoms are normally unable to activate CO 2 , the addition of an excess electron to these systems led to the formation of chemisorbed anionic complexes. These are covalently bound, formate-like anions, in which their CO 2 moieties are significantly reduced. In addition, we also found evidence for an unexpectedly attractive interaction between neutral Pd atoms and CO 2 .
