Abstract

Read online

High-performance transition metal catalysts are a major driving force in academic and industrial polyolefin research. Here the authors show the synthesis and (co)polymerization studies of a simple and versatile α-imino-ketone nickel system, which is thermally stable and highly active during ethylene polymerization.
