Research on “post‐metallocene” polymerization catalysis ranges methodologically from
fundamental mechanistic studies of polymerization reactions over catalyst design to material …

1.1 Background In 1929, Staudinger and co-workers (1) predicted a correlation between the
physical properties of a polymer and its main-chain stereochemistry. Not until 1947 …

Aluminum complexes of enantiomerically pure aminomethylpyrrolidine-based salalen
ligands and their application in the stereoselective polymerization of lactide are described …

The opening up of new markets, particularly in the Far East, is expected to increase the
industrial demand for more (and new) plastic materials. In turn, this will drive the need for …

We report the synthesis of a zirconium complex {κ2-[Ph2P (S) NCH2CH2N (CH2CH2) O] Zr
(C5H5) 2Cl}(2) supported by a flexible amidophosphinosulfide ligand [Ph2P (S) N (CH2) 2N …

A series of novel Ti (IV) complexes bearing new type of nonsymmetric amine-bis (phenolate)
tetradentate ligands, Me2NCH2CH2N [2-O-3-R1-5-t BuC6H2][CH2 (2-O-3-R2-5-t BuC6H2)] …

Homogeneous single-site alkene polymerization is a “mature” field. However, this does not
imply that interest to this research area fades. Moreover, armed by well understood …

Zirconium is a silvery-white malleable and ductile metal at room temperature with a crustal
abundance of 162 ppm. Its compounds, showing Lewis acidic behavior and high catalytic …

A comparison of the steric properties of homogeneous single site catalysts for propene
polymerization using the percentage of buried volume (% V Bur) as molecular descriptor is …

Polyolefins are the most consumed polymeric materials extensively used in our daily life and
are usually generated by coordination polymerization in the polyolefin industry. Olefin …
