Ligand-induced substrate steering and reshaping of [Ag2(H)]+ scaffold for selective CO2 extrusion from formic acid

Designing catalysts and understanding the influence of ligands for particular transformations remains a highly challenging task. Here, the authors show that bisphosphine ligands can alter the geometry of the active site in silver catalysts, driving protonation and ultimately extrusion of carbon diox...
