Abstract

Hybrid density functional calculations on [Cr(NR)2C3H7(C2H4)]+ (R = H, tBu) have revealed a facile reductive elimination reaction involving β-hydrogen transfer from the alkyl chain, suggesting that the active species in ethylene polymerisation with bis(imido)chromium(VI) precursors contains a reduced chromium atom.
