Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) belongs to an emerging class of high-
performance specialty polymers with a unique set of properties and applications. The field …

More than 50 years have passed since Ziegler and Natta shared the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry for their discovery of olefin polymerization catalysts. The field of metal-catalysed …

Brought to life more than half a century ago and successfully applied for high-value
petrochemical intermediates production, nickel-catalyzed olefin oligomerization is still a very …

This Review gives a comprehensive overview of the most topical weakly coordinating
anions (WCAs) and contains information on WCA design, stability, and applications. As an …

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 …

1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF REVIEW As one milestone in the history of
polymerization chemistry, the work of Ziegler and Natta has led to the rapid …

The introduction of even a small amount of polar functional groups into polyolefins could
excise great control over important material properties. As the most direct and economic …

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

The ability to carry out transition‐metal‐catalyzed copolymerizations of olefins with polar
monomers is a great challenge in the field of olefin polymerization. Palladium has been the …

A dibenzobarrelene‐bridged, α‐diimine NiII catalyst (rac‐3) was synthesized and shown to
have exceptional behavior for the polymerization of ethylene. The catalyst afforded high …
