Regioselective control of the nickel-mediated coupling of acetylene and carbon dioxide - A DFT study

The nickel-mediated coupling of asymmetric alkynes with carbon dioxide is known to be highly regioselective with respect to the formation of nickelacycle intermediates and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid products. Using density functional theory (DFT), we have investigated the effect that parameters...
