Studies of carbon-hydrogen and silicon-hydrogen bond activation by early transition metal complexes

Compounds that contain early transition metals particularly titanium, vanadium, and chromium, are used as catalysts for olefin polymerization in the Ziegler-Natta and Phillips processes. The key intermediates in these catalysts are thought to be six-coordinate metal alkyl/olefin complexes. The synthesis and study of early transition metal alkyl complexes as models of these catalytic centers can provide insight into the mechanism of polymerization processes.
