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 …

Hydrocarbons, when used as the medium for transition metal catalyzed organic reactions
and olefin (co‐) polymerization, are ubiquitous. Environmentally friendly water is highly …

The use of methylaluminoxane (MAO) as cocatalyst for the polymerization of olefins and
some other vinyl compounds has widely increased the possibilities for more precisely …

Polar polyolefin synthesis by coordination polymerization is of high interest, but the catalysts'
low activity limits industrial implementation. Herein, we demonstrate how the nature of the …

Water-soluble [P, O] Ni (II) catalysts enable the direct catalytic nonalternating
copolymerization of fundamental comonomers ethylene and carbon monoxide (CO) in water …

The catalytic emulsion polymerization of ethylene has been a long-lasting technical
challenge as current techniques still suffer some limitations. Here we report an alternative …

Similarities and differences of normal versus abnormal carbene complexes are highlighted,
with an emphasis on effects that can be directly attributed to the different bonding mode and …

We have prepared a new series of nickel phosphine phosphonate ester complexes that
feature two metal-chelating polyethylene glycol (PEG) side arms. Metal binding and …
