Research on “post‐metallocene” polymerization catalysis ranges methodologically from
fundamental mechanistic studies of polymerization reactions over catalyst design to material …

1.1. General Overview Polyolefinic materials, exemplified by polyethylenes (PEs),
polypropylenes (PPs), and ethylene/R-olefin amorphous copolymers, display many notable …

Organometallic chemistry has provided the foundation for the development of a wide range
of new olefin polymerization catalysts over the last two to three decades. The unraveling of …

Thermoplastic elastomers are attractive materials because of their ability to be melt-
processed, reused, and recycled, unlike chemically cross-linked elastomers such as rubber …

In coordination polymerization chemistry, the most active species are cationic transition
metals which bear vacant sites for monomer coordination. The steric and electronic …

This contribution reports the discovery and application of phenoxy–imine‐based catalysts for
olefin polymerization. Ligand‐oriented catalyst design research has led to the discovery of …

Since its discovery, methylalumoxane (MAO) has become of great importance as a
cocatalyst in homogeneous olefin polymerization. The working principles of single‐site …

Stiffening of the catalyst backbone of salan-type catalyst 1via ring closure yields
indanosalan 3 and increases activity and molar mass capability by two orders of magnitude …

Synthesis of a variety of optically transparent polyolefin elastomers consisting of hard
segment of polynorbornene and several kinds of soft segments such as atactic …

Abstract Suitably activated,(Cp*){N (tBu) C (Me) N (Et)} ZrMe2 is known to initiate the
'living'and isotactic‐selective polymerization of alk‐1‐enes, and it can be used to synthesize …
