The Brookhart-type α-diimine nickel and palladium catalysts are one of the most examined
systems in the field of olefin polymerization. Even after more than twenty years of extensive …

Abstract α-Diimine Ni and Pd complexes are one of the most examined late-transition
organometallics in the application of catalyzed ethylene (co) polymerization. These …

Precise synthesis of the complex polymer structure has been long-sought. In the late
transition-metal catalyzed olefin polymerization, chain walking and chain transfer are two …

In this perspective, recent developments on palladium and nickel mediated chain walking
olefin polymerization and copolymerization with polar functionalized comonomers are …

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

The interest in the late transition metal catalyst based design of new architectures of
polyethylene (PE) has continuously been increasing over the last few years. The structure of …

Homogeneous nickel catalysts have a considerable track record for mediating ethylene
chain growth in the form of oligomerization and more recently polymerization. Within the …

A series of sterically demanding α‐diimine ligands bearing electron‐donating and electron‐
withdrawing substituents were synthesized by an improved synthetic procedure in high …

Sterically demanding NiII α-diimine precatalysts were synthesized utilizing 2, 6-bis
(diphenylmethyl)-4-methyl aniline. When activated with methylaluminoxane, the catalyst …

In the Brookhart type α-diimine palladium catalyst system, it is highly challenging to tune the
polymer branching densities through ligand modifications or polymerization conditions. In …
