industrially relevant large scale carbonylation reactions, the related bis-alkoxycarbonyl complexes remain unknown except for few specific cases. On the other hand, such metal complexes should allow for a direct [...] synthesis of oxalates via the corresponding reductive elimination reactions. In this respect, bis-alkoxycarbonyl metal complexes can be viewed as central intermediates for the direct creation of C-C bonds [...] constitute a largely overseen class of organometallic compounds, which have been only scarcely studied in the past, both with respect to their preparation and their general reactivity.
