A key step in the formation of acrylic acid from CO2 and ethylene: The transformation of a nickelalactone into a nickel-acrylate complex
The reaction of a nickelalactone with dppm, resulting in the formation of a stable binuclear Ni(i) complex with an acrylate, a Ph2P- and a dppm bridge, models a key step in the formation of acrylic acid from CO2 and ethyle
