The Brookhart-type α-diimine nickel and palladium catalysts are one of the most examined
systems in the field of olefin polymerization. Even after more than twenty years of extensive …

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 …

Abstract α-Diimine nickel and palladium catalyzed α-olefin polymerization could produce
polyolefins with complicated branching structures due to the chain walking feature. The …

Increasing the thermostability of α-diimine late-transition-metal complexes and therefore
rendering them more active at higher temperatures is of great importance, yet challenging …

The chain-walking polymerization of linear internal alkenes (ie, trans-2-, 3-, and 4-octenes)
using α-diimine nickel catalysts activated with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) was …

Coordinating solvents are commonly employed as ancillary ligands to stabilize late
transition metal complexes and are conventionally considered to have little effect on the …

We present a new strategy to regulate branching in chain‐walking olefin polymerization by
triggering a rapid isomerization of 1‐alkene monomers into internal olefins by adding a …

A series of α‐diimine nickel (II) catalysts bearing different para‐substituted groups,{[(4‐R‐2,
6‐Me2‐C6H2N C) 2Nap] NiBr2, Nap: 1, 8‐naphthdiyl; R= CHMePh (C1); R= CHPh2 (C2); …

A series of xanthene-bridged dinucleating ligands bearing imino-and aminopyridyl moieties
and their nickel complexes were synthesized and characterized. The properties of these …

The production of semicrystalline polyolefins using α-diimine late transition metal catalysts is
highly desired but challenging in both ethylene and α-olefin polymerization, which relates to …
