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 …

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 …

Current heterogeneous catalysts lack the fine steric and electronic tuning required for
catalyzing the selective dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene, which remains one of the …

In the industry of petrochemicals, oligomerization of α-olefins, mainly ethylene and
propylene, is an important process that produces linear α-olefins (LAOs). Industrial …

Among porous materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) take the lead in heterogeneous
support catalysts because the structure of MOFs can be readily tuned by choice of metal and …

In this review are highlighted the key advances that have occurred in the discovery and
development of 2, 6-bis (imino) pyridyl iron (II) and cobalt (II) catalysts for the transformation …

A series of iron complexes ligated by 2-imino-1, 10-phenanthrolinyl ligands, LFeCl2 (L= 2-
(ArN CR)-1, 10-phen), were synthesized and sufficiently characterized by elemental and …

Recent progress on the use of iron and cobalt complex pre-catalysts for ethylene reactivity is
reviewed. The review is organized in terms of the denticity of the chelate ligands employed …

A series of iron (II)(7a− 11a) and cobalt (II)(7b− 11b) 2-(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-6-(1-
(arylimino) ethyl) pyridyl complexes were synthesized, as well as bidentate iron (II) and …

The diiminepyridine ligand, made famous by Brookhart and Gibson a decade ago through
its use in the first iron-containing olefin polymerization catalyst, also displays an amazing …
