Ligands, Lewis bases that coordinate to the metal center in a complex, can completely
change the catalytic behavior of the metal center. In this Account, we summarize new …

Polyolefins with periodic unsaturation in the backbone chain are sought after for
synthesizing chemically recyclable polymers or telechelic polyolefin macromonomers. Here …

Functional polyolefins (ie, polyethene or polypropene bearing functional groups) are highly
desired materials, due to their beneficial surface properties. Many different pathways exist …

The practical synthesis of polar‐functionalized polyolefins using transition‐metal‐catalyzed
copolymerization of olefins with polar monomers is a challenge; the use of heterogeneous …

A dibenzobarrelene‐bridged, α‐diimine NiII catalyst (rac‐3) was synthesized and shown to
have exceptional behavior for the polymerization of ethylene. The catalyst afforded high …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed copolymerization reactions of olefins with polar‐functionalized
comonomers are highly important and also highly challenging. A second‐coordination …

The incorporation of polar functional groups into polyolefins can significantly alter the
adhesion, barrier and surface properties, dyeability, printability, and compatibility of the …

The efficient copolymerization of acrylates with ethylene using Ni catalysts remains a
challenge. Herein, we report two neutral Ni (II) catalysts (POP-Ni-py (1) and PONap-Ni-py …
