Abstract
Ligands play a pivotal role in catalysis, yet crafting and purifying them often requires toxic reagents and results in solvent waste. Thus, curtailing their sustainability repercussions demands a meticulous synthetic process, robust design leading to minimal usage, and entirely ligand-free methodologies.
