The preparation of well-defined functionalized polyolefins via coordination-insertion
polymerization method is a hot topic in polymer science. Late transition organometallic …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed copolymerization of olefins with polar monomers represents a
challenge because of the large variety of substrate‐induced side reactions. However, this …

Since the pioneering work of highly active α-diimine palladium/nickel catalysts in 1995 by
Brookhart, late transition metal catalysts have been extensively and deeply investigated …

The introduction of polar functional groups into the polyolefin skeleton is a challenging goal
of high interest, and coordination-insertion polymerization represents the most powerful and …

A series of imine/phosphine-oxide ligands was synthesized and characterized. These
ligands are easily prepared in a modular fashion, with positions that are independently …

The less-expensive and earth-abundant nickel catalyst is highly promising in the
copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers and has thus attracted increasing …

Improving the efficiency of chain initiation is highly important and also highly challenging in
the development of olefin polymerization catalysts. A series of 2-methylallyl-based nickel …

In this study, we synthesized and characterized two nickel complexes featuring
conformationally rigid bisphosphine mono-oxide ligands, where one has an o …

Since the discovery of Shell-Higher-Olefin-Process (SHOP), ethylene oligomerization has
been one of the most significant processes of homogenous transition-metal catalysts. And …

The synthesis of polar functionalized polyolefin (PFP) offers improvement in mixing
properties, polymer surface, and rheological properties with the potential of upgraded …
