The demand for low-cost high-performance materials has seen polyolefins'1 share of total
polymer production increase from approximately 30% to 60% over the last 30 years (19702 …

Conspectus Titanium, as the second most abundant transition metal in the earth's crust,
lends itself as a sustainable and inexpensive resource in catalysis. Its nontoxicity and …

Methylaluminoxane (MAO) is used as a precatalyst activator for million ton–scale production
of commercial polyolefins, but its precise structure and associated activation mechanisms …

In single-site olefin polymerization catalysis, a large excess of cocatalyst is often required for
the generation of highly active catalysts, but the reason for this is unclear. In this work …
