In the industry of petrochemicals, oligomerization of α-olefins, mainly ethylene and
propylene, is an important process that produces linear α-olefins (LAOs). Industrial …

In coordination polymerization chemistry, the most active species are cationic transition
metals which bear vacant sites for monomer coordination. The steric and electronic …

A recently developed metal–organic framework (MOF) catalyst for the dimerization of
ethylene has a combination of selectivity and activity that surpasses that of commercial …

In single-site olefin polymerization catalysis, a large excess of cocatalyst is often required for
the generation of highly active catalysts, but the reason for this is unclear. In this work …

Single-site homogeneous catalysts need to be activated by a co-catalyst or counterion. The
high activity imparted by methylaluminoxane (MAO) has caused it to be one of the most …

The structure and energy of aluminum nitride cages (AlN) n (n= 2− 41) have been
investigated theoretically. The most stable cages have been constructed on the basis of a …

Since its discovery, methylalumoxane (MAO) has become of great importance as a
cocatalyst in homogeneous olefin polymerization. The working principles of single‐site …

With greater market demand, interest in the selective production of linear α-olefins has been
increasing. This review discusses the principles underlying the evolution of the ligand …

Metal oxides are important in numerous catalytic industrial processes, and the
understanding of their interactions with organic compounds is of great interest. 1 The …

We present an efficient route to tetramethylalumoxane by the controlled hydrolysis of AlMe3
in the presence of pyridine. The AlMe3 (pyr) hydrolysis by 0.5 and 1 equiv. of H2O has been …
