A Key Step in the Formation of Acrylic Acid from CO2 and Ethylene: the Transformation of a Nickelalactone into a Nickel-acrylate Complex
Overview
Affiliations
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 ethylene.
