The most ubiquitous polymer, polyethylene (PE), is produced either through a radical-initiated process or, more commonly, coordination/insertion employing early transition metal catalysts, particularly titanium- and chromium-based systems. These oxophilic catalysts are not functional-group-tolerant thus cannot be used to synthesize copolymers of ethylene polar vinyl monomers such as alkyl acrylates acetate. Such PE have enhanced properties relative made radical polymerization processes,...

Copolymerizations of ethylene with vinyltrialkoxysilanes are reported using both a "traditional" cationic Pd(II) aryldiimine catalyst, t-1 (aryl = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), and "sandwich-type" s-2 8-tolylnaphthyl). Incorporation levels between 0.25 2.0 mol % were achieved remarkably little rate retardation relative to homopolymerizations. In the case traditional catalyst system, molecular weights decrease as level comonomer increases only one trialkoxysilyl group is incorporated per chain....

Neutral nickel methyl complexes incorporating 2,8-diarylnaphthyl groups have been synthesized and characterized. Salicylaldiminato systems 1a,b are exceptionally active neutral single component catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene capable producing lightly branched ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). In addition, complex 1a shows a "quasi-living" behavior.

Abstract Ethylene/polar monomer coordination copolymerization offers an attractive way of making functionalized polyolefins. However, ethylene with industrially relevant short chain length alkenoic acid remain a big challenge. Here we report the efficient direct vinyl acetic by tetranuclear nickel complexes. The protic can be extended to acrylic acid, allylacetic ω-alkenoic allyl alcohol, and homoallyl alcohol. Based on X-ray analysis precatalysts, control experiments, solvent-assisted...

Traditional cationic Pd(II) and Ni(II) ethylene polymerization catalysts are supported by ortho-disubstituted aryl diimine ligands. These capable of producing high-molecular-weight polyethylene due to positioning bulk in the two axial sites square coordination plane which retards chain transfer. Similar pyridine-imine complexes bearing a single imine moiety were reported yield very low Mn polyethylene. In earlier studies, "sandwich" nickel incorporating 8-arylnaphthylimino groups provide...
