A key step in the formation of acrylic acid from CO2 and ethylene: the transformation of a nickelalactone into a nickel-acrylate complex

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Jun 21:(23):2510-2. doi: 10.1039/b603540j. Epub 2006 May 9.

Abstract

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.
