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 …

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 …

Norbornene and derivatives represent an important class of comonomers in polyolefin
synthesis due to their unique cyclic structures. In this contribution, two groups of norbornene …

Comprehensive Summary In the past few decades, the development of high‐performance
catalysts has been a key driving force and a center of research efforts in the field of olefin …

Controlling the chain growth process in non-living polymerization reactions is difficult
because chain termination typically occurs faster than the time it takes to apply an external …

The secondary coordination interaction that differs from ligand steric and electronic
modification is an important tool to modulate the olefin polymerization process. In this …

A general and versatile synthetic strategy for producing practical quantities of a wide range
of phenyl-group-terminated hetero-and homotelechelic semicrystalline polyethenes and …

As a powerful protocol for the preparation of common polymers, such as polyolefins,
polyesters, and polycarbonates, late-transition-metal-catalyzed polymerization can be …

A dinickel complex, X-Ni 2, was developed and demonstrated to have a high performance in
ethylene/acrylate copolymerization. Further mechanistic studies revealed that X-Ni 2 …
