single component catalyst for the copolymerization of ethylene with norbornene affording P
(E-co-N) in excellent yields and molar masses significantly higher than those of
polyethylene. Copolymer molar masses increased with N concentration. Determination of
microstructure and reactivity ratios revealed a strong inherent tendency to form alternating
copolymers. The ability of palladium complex 1 to effectively copolymerize ethylene with …
