1.1. Inspired by Nature In many enzymes, such as ureases (Figure 1), two or more metal
centers are poised in close proximity to activate both electrophilic and nucleophilic …

Dinickel bisphenoxyiminato complexes based on highly substituted p-and m-terphenyl
backbones were synthesized, and the corresponding atropisomers were isolated. In the …

This article provides an overview on recent progress in the addition copolymerization of
ethylene or α-olefins with cyclic olefins by various organometallic catalysts. Special …

The aim of designing multinuclear catalysts for olefin polymerization is to have the best
control on the catalyst behavior and final polymer properties. This control is in relation to …

A series of methyl nickel complexes with phosphino-naphtholate chelate ligands have been
strategically designed, synthesized, and fully characterized. These catalysts showed …

A number of transition metal catalysts including early and late transition metals have been
investigated for olefin polymerization and copolymerization. Progress of the field in this …

A dinuclear Ni complex with a double‐decker structure (see scheme) and a short Ni–Ni
distance promotes the copolymerization of ethylene with functional monomers. Matching of …

A new family of neutral salicylaldiminato nickel (II) catalysts (Ni1–Ni5) is developed with
various well-designed ortho substituents to the phenoxy moiety and these show moderate to …
