In this study, several α-diimine nickel complexes were prepared by merging a bulky
dibenzobarrelene backbone and bulky dibenzhydrylanilines. The single-crystal X-ray …

Recently, α-diimine nickel-catalyzed ethylene chain walking polymerization has enabled the
direct preparation of polyethylene thermoplastic elastomers using ethylene as a single …

8-aryl or alkyl-naphthyl substituents are widely used as an effective axial shielding strategy
for the suppression of chain transfer in late-transition metal-catalyzed ethylene (co) …

Recently, the structural symmetry of α-diimine nickel catalysts was demonstrated to have a
pronounced effect on the microstructure of the resulting polyethylene. In this study, two plane …

A new family of neutral salicylaldiminato nickel (II) catalysts (Ni1–Ni5) is developed with
various well-designed ortho substituents to the phenoxy moiety and these show moderate to …

Comprehensive Summary Usually, the aniline‐based late‐transition‐metal catalysts often
require bulky steric substituents on both sides of the ortho‐aryl position to achieve efficient …

Star polymers have attracted immense interest from scientific and industrial communities
due to their unique properties relative to linear polymers; however, the synthesis of the long …

A dinickel complex, X-Ni 2, was developed and demonstrated to have a high performance in
ethylene/acrylate copolymerization. Further mechanistic studies revealed that X-Ni 2 …

The synthesis of polyethylenes with concurrent high mechanical and elastic properties at
elevated reaction temperatures using nickel catalysts proves to be challenging, primarily …

Ultrahigh molecular weight functionalized isotactic polypropylene (f-UHMW-iPP) through the
direct copolymerization of propylene with polar monomers is highly desirable but has not …
