It has been almost a decade since sterically demanding bis (arylimino) pyridine ligands,[2, 6-
(ArNdCR) 2C5H3N](1)(Figure 1), were found to impart late transition metals, especially iron …

In this review are highlighted the key advances that have occurred in the discovery and
development of 2, 6-bis (imino) pyridyl iron (II) and cobalt (II) catalysts for the transformation …

Polyolefin/clay nanocomposites are mainly prepared by melt mixing, solution, and in situ
polymerization approaches. Among them, the last one is more attractive because the …

The book provides insight into the working of clays and clay minerals in speeding up a
variety of organic reactions. Clay minerals are known to have a large propensity for taking …

Polyethylene and nanosilica represent the most ubiquitous commodity plastic and
nanocomposite filler, respectively. Despite their potential utility, few examples exist in the …

This review discusses the principles underlying mononucleating N-heterocyclic ligand
design, selectivity of metal centers, preparation of organometallic catalysts with a N …

This chapter describes the brief history of iron or cobalt catalysts for olefin polymerisation
and oligomerisation. Since the discovery in 1998 that 2, 6-bis (imino) pyridine iron and …

The preparation of PMMA–clay nanocomposites was investigated by using sodium
dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDS) and potassium peroxodisulfate (KPS) as a surfactant and …

As the performance of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites strongly depends on their
interior layer dispersion, quantification of the layer dispersion degree is needed. In this work …

Ethylene and 10‐undecen‐1‐ol have been successfully copolymerized by an organically
modified montmorillonite (OMMT)‐intercalated metallocene catalyst, Et [Ind] 2ZrCl2 …
