Precision Synthesis of Ethylene and Polar Monomer Copolymers by Palladium-Catalyzed Living Coordination Copolymerization

Synthesis and characterization of α-diamine palladium complexes and insight into hybridization effects of nitrogen donor atoms on norbornene (co)polymerizations

Hybridization effects of nitrogen donor atoms showed that the α-diamine palladium catalyst more easily produced highly active Pd²⁺cations for norbornene (co)polymerization.

Regioselective living polymerization of allylcyclohexane and precise synthesis of hydrocarbon block copolymers with cyclic units

Regioselective living polymerization of allylcyclohexane was catalyzed by a bulky α-diimine nickel catalyst. Well-defined hydrocarbon block copolymers with cyclic units were constructed by sequential monomer addition.

A RAFT/MADIX method finely regulating the copolymerization of ethylene and polar vinyl monomers under mild conditions

A RAFT/MADIX method can not only copolymerize ethylene with a diverse range of functionally polar monomers, but can also easily tune the polar composition and the polar monomer distribution along the produced copolymer chains.
