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 …

Several nickel complexes bearing sterically bulky phosphino-phenolate ([P, O]) ligands were
synthesized and explored as catalysts for olefin (co) polymerization. In the absence of an …

Ni (II) complexes bearing an o-bis (aryl) phosphinophenolate ligand were synthesized as
catalysts for copolymerization of ethylene and alkyl acrylates. When the P-bound aryl group …

The insertion copolymerization of polar olefins and ethylene remains a significant challenge
in part due to catalysts′ low activity and poor thermal stability. Herein we demonstrate a …

A series of methyl nickel complexes with phosphino-naphtholate chelate ligands have been
strategically designed, synthesized, and fully characterized. These catalysts showed …

Copolymerizations of ethylene with vinyltrialkoxysilanes using cationic (α-diimine) Ni
(Me)(CH3CN)+ complexes 4a, b/B (C6F5) 3 yield high molecular weight copolymers …

Secondary metal cations, such as alkali and transition metal ions, have been shown to
enhance the catalytic performance of nickel and palladium olefin polymerization catalysts …

To reveal effect of electronic or steric modification of phosphino‐phenolate nickel complex
for preparing optimized catalysts, we take elaborated studies on structure‐performance …

The exploration of new catalytic properties of the known functionalities would facilitate the
exploitation of new ligands and/or organocatalysts that are able to achieve reactivity and …

Transition metal-catalyzed olefin polymerization dominates in the polyolefin field, and we
still have limited control over a catalyst's behavior. In addition to traditional steric and …
