Organoactinides in the polymerization of ethylene: is TIBA a better cocatalyst than MAO?†
Abstract
The synthesis of two pyridylamidinate bis(N,N‘-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-pyridylamidinate)An(μ-Cl)2Li(TMEDA) (An = U (1), Th (2)) complexes is presented. For complex 1 the solid state X-ray structures were studied and compared to that of complex 2. The organoactinide complexes were studied as pre-
