Surprising activity for Group 4 polyolefin catalysts [M{(OAr)2py}Cl2(thf)] (M = Zr, Ti) bearing tridentate pyridine-2,6-bis(aryloxide) ligands

Abstract

Unexpectedly high ethylene polymerisation activity is observed for zirconium(IV) catalysts supported by a rigid tridentate pyridine-bis(phenolate) ligand in conjunction with MAO; a methodology towards analogues with unsymmetric ligands and the significance of the coordinated solvent molecule are described.
