The discovery of a near-infrared (NIR, 650–900 nm) fluorescent chromophore hemicyanine
dye with high structural tailorability is of great significance in the field of detection …

Polyolefins have dominated materials technology over the last century and remain among
the most used materials, despite environmental problems have emerged and their public …

Key similarities and differences of Pd and Ni in catalytic systems are discussed. Overall, Ni
and Pd catalyze a vast number of similar C–C and C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions …

Less than 10% of plastics are recycled worldwide, among which polyolefins, which form two-
thirds of all produced polymers, are the most discarded ones. This stems from the nonpolar …

Precise synthesis of the complex polymer structure has been long-sought. In the late
transition-metal catalyzed olefin polymerization, chain walking and chain transfer are two …

The world's most abundantly manufactured plastic, polyethylene, consists of inert
hydrocarbon chains. The introduction of reactive polar groups in these chains could help …

The Brookhart-type α-diimine nickel and palladium catalysts are one of the most examined
systems in the field of olefin polymerization. Even after more than twenty years of extensive …

Polyethylenes enjoy wide applications due to their many superior properties. The
incorporation of some polar functional groups into the otherwise nonpolar polyethylene …

A critically important process in catalysis is the formation of an active catalyst from the
combination of a metal precursor and a ligand, as the efficacy of this reaction governs the …

Abstract α-Diimine Ni and Pd complexes are one of the most examined late-transition
organometallics in the application of catalyzed ethylene (co) polymerization. These …
