NICKEL CATALYSIS

From glovebox to benchtop

Nature Catalysis volume 3, pages 2–3 (2020)Cite this article

Subjects

Intensified interest in the area of nickel catalysis has driven the quest for an air-stable and modular Ni(0) precatalyst. Now, an air-stable Ni(0)-olefin precatalyst allows for the convenient set-up of nickel-catalysed reactions on the benchtop.
