The present review “Iron Catalysis in Organic Synthesis” covers the literature until the end of
June 2014 and represents a comprehensive update of a previous article published by Bolm …

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 …

Homogeneous nickel catalysts have a considerable track record for mediating ethylene
chain growth in the form of oligomerization and more recently polymerization. Within the …

Ni-based inorganic porous materials are the most important heterogeneous catalysts for
ethylene oligomerization. In spite of extensive research carried out in previous decades on …

Recent progress in the application of homogeneous iron and cobalt catalysts in ethylene
oligo-/polymerization is reviewed with particular emphasis placed on the tuning of catalyst …

It has been almost a decade since sterically demanding bis (arylimino) pyridine ligands,[2, 6-
(ArNdCR) 2C5H3N](1)(Figure 1), were found to impart late transition metals, especially iron …

50 years ago, Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery
of the catalytic polymerization of ethylene and propylene using titanium compounds and …

The electronic structure of a family of bis (imino) pyridine iron dihalide, monohalide, and
neutral ligand compounds has been investigated by spectroscopic and computational …

Diiminopyridyl metal complexes, first characterized several decades ago, found practical
application in 1998 when they were used as precatalysts in coordinative ethylene …

In this review, the key advances achieved over more than 10 years on the design and
development of (imino) pyridyl transition metal complexes as catalyst precursors for the …
