Polyolefins are the largest-scale synthetic plastics and play a key role in modern society.
Their production consumes huge amounts of fossil-derived monomer feedstocks, which …

The preparation of well-defined functionalized polyolefins via coordination-insertion
polymerization method is a hot topic in polymer science. Late transition organometallic …

The heterogenization of homogeneous metal complexes on solid supports presents an
efficient strategy for bridging homogeneous catalysts with industrially-preferred …

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 …

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

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

Visible light‐mediated direct decarboxylation of carboxylic acids with an acridine
photocatalyst is a convenient and powerful method to generate carbon‐centered radicals in …

Polymers have become one of the largest and most important materials we use in daily life.
Their popularity has stemmed from their wide range of material properties combined with …

Transition metal-catalyzed olefin-polar monomer copolymerization holds great potential for
the synthesis of polar group-functionalized polyolefin materials. The dominant approach to …

Since polar groups can poison the metal centers in catalysts, the incorporation of polar
comonomers usually comes at the expense of catalytic activity and polymer molecular …
