Reduction of CO in moderate yields was observed when ((eta/sup 5/-C/sub 5/Me/sub 5/)/sub 2/Zr(CO))/sub 2/N/sub 2/ was treated with HCl. Further studies revealed that mononuclear carbonyl and hydride complexes of bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium were capable of promoting the stoichiometric H/sub 2/ reduction of CO to methoxide under very mild conditions.
