A density functional theory study of CO 2 and the cyclic trimer 1,3,5‐trioxanetrione (C 3 O 6 ) coordination to Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Zn 2+ is presented to elucidate how metal identity, ligand topology, and coordination environment govern multiligand binding thermodynamics. In the absence of coordinating...
