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 …

The fascination of the well-defined metal catalysts for olefin polymerization is their capability
to control the properties of the polymer such as topology (linear to highly branched), range of …

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 …

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

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 …

For transition metal-based olefin polymerization catalysts, ligand steric and electronic effects
can strongly influence important catalytic properties. However, the simultaneous tuning of …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed copolymerization reactions of olefins with polar‐functionalized
comonomers are highly important and also highly challenging. A second‐coordination …

So far, ligand steric effects of the α-diimine nickel catalysts on the polyolefin branching
densities are not systematically investigated. Generally, in contrast to the α-diimine …

Nickel‐and palladium‐catalyzed insertion copolymerization of ethylene and acrylate
comonomers for synthesis of ethylene‐acrylates copolymers have attracted much academic …
