We present a comprehensive DFT investigation on the cationic ring-opening polymerisation
(CROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) using zirconocene/borate catalyst systems. All possible …

Quenched-flow data for propene polymerization with rac-Me2Si (2-Me-4-Ph-1-indenyl)
2ZrCl2/MAO support a picture where removal of MAO qualitatively changes the kinetic …

Ion pairing is known to play a key role in stoichiometric and catalytic reactions mediated by
charged transition metal complexes, especially when they are conducted in low-polar …

Accurate in silico prediction of copolymerization performance of olefin polymerization
catalysts is demonstrated. It is shown by the example of 19 metallocene and post …

The dissolution of polysulfides into electrolytes and sluggish electrochemical conversion
kinetics primarily impede the practical realization of Li–S batteries. Homogeneous catalysis …

The copolymerization of ethylene‒diene conjugates (butadiene (BD), isoprene (IP) and
nonconjugates (5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), vinyl norbornene VNB, 4 …

The effectiveness of metallocene catalysts in the cationic ring-opening polymerization
(cationic ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) is influenced by the choice of metallocene/borate …

Hafnium catalysts for olefin polymerization are often very sensitive to the nature of
cocatalysts, especially if they contain “free” aluminium trialkyls. Herein, cocatalyst effects in …

This quantum chemical study presents the ligand effect and a structure–property relationship
in the cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of ε-caprolactone using zirconocene …
