Current studies on novel, metallocenebased catalysts for the polymerization of α‐olefins
have far‐reaching implications for the development of new materials as well as for the …

The outstandingly rapid scientific and technological development of metallocene-based
catalysts for olefin polymerization is a perfect example of the successful application of …

Ziegler-Natta and related catalysts based on early transition metal d0 complexes are
extensively used for the coordination polymerization of nonpolar olefins such as ethylene …

Even late transition metal complexes function as active and selective catalysts for α‐olefin
polymerization. The discovery of a highly active family of catalysts 1 based on iron, a metal …

Staudinger predicted a correlation between the physical properties of a polymer and its main-
chain stereochemistry as early as 1929. 1 However it was not until 1947 that Schildknecht …

Mechanistic aspects of palladium-catalyzed insertion copolymerizations of ethylene and α-
olefins with methyl acrylate to give high molar mass polymers are described. Complexes …

Neutral salicylaldiminato Ni (II) complexes have been synthesized, and their structure has
been confirmed by an X-ray analysis of complex 4e. These compounds are active catalysts …

The classical examples of chirality in coordination chemistry are transition-metal chelate
complexes of the type [M (bidentate) 3] that exist in nonsuperimposable mirror image forms …

This review describes recent advances in the synthesis and polymerization chemistry of
organolanthanide complexes (including those of scandium and yttrium), with emphasis …

About 30 years ago organometallic compounds of the rare earth metals were a curiosity.
That changed slowly in the late 1970s and the early 1980s after the availability of modern …
