Coordinative Chain-Transfer Polymerization of Ethylene with NCN-Ligand Stabilized Complexes of Titanium and Zirconium

Content of the present work is the development of novel group IV transition metal based catalyst systems which are able to polymerize ethylene in a highly controlled and efficient fashion. Besides synthesis and complete characterization of the ligands and complexes, these novel catalyst systems were tested in coordinative chain-transfer polymerization (CCTP) of ethylene. It includes optimization of the reaction conditions, assignment of mechanistic aspects concerning individual polymerization ability and detailed analysis of the resulting poly- or oligomeric products.
