title: Bidentate amidine ligands for nickel(0)-mediated coupling of carbon dioxide with unsaturated hydrocarbons.
abstract: Novel bidentate amidines were designed and synthesized as easily available electron-donating N-ligands for Ni0-mediated coupling of carbon dioxide with alkynes or allenes, and high regioselectivity was achieved even for the carboxylation of aryl substituted internal alkynes.
