Ligands, Lewis bases that coordinate to the metal center in a complex, can completely
change the catalytic behavior of the metal center. In this Account, we summarize new …

Nickel‐and palladium‐catalyzed insertion copolymerization of ethylene and acrylate
comonomers for synthesis of ethylene‐acrylates copolymers have attracted much academic …

Polymers have become one of the largest and most important materials we use in daily life.
