Graphical Abstract

Green oxidation: A new class of Group 6 metal complexes catalyzes the direct oxidation of isocyanides through nondegenerate oxygen atom transfer (OAT) utilizing N2O as a chemical oxidant. In addition they serve as photocatalysts for the reversible degenerate OAT between CO and CO2 (see scheme).
