Abstract
Experimental and theoretical insights into polymerization of para-N,N-disubstituted aminostyrene monomers (St-4-NR2, R = Me, Et, Ph) using cationic α-diimine palladium complexes have been initially reported. The effects of the catalyst structure and monomer substituent were studied systematically. Polymerization turnover frequency (TOF) was shown to decrease in the order of monomer substituents Me > Et > Ph, whereas the molecular weight of the produced polymers showed an opposite trend (Me < Et < Ph). Methanol-mediated polymerization of para-N,N-dimethylaminostyrene (DMAS), along with polymer chain-end analysis, and palladium intermediate isolation proved that palladium-initiated DMAS polymerization obeyed a cationic mechanism. Comprehensive theoretical calculations further revealed that the carbocation was generated from the insertion of DMAS into the palladium center rather than the polarization of the methyl palladium intermediate with a coordinated DMAS. The produced amine-functionalized amorphous polystyrenes have low stereoregularity and exhibit good hydrophilic properties. The poly(para-N,N-disphenylaminostyrene) is a luminescent polymer and shows fluorescence properties, rendering this material a promising candidate for versatile potential applications.

Abstract
Recently, polyolefin thermoplastic elastomers can be obtained directly using ethylene as a single feedstock via α-diimine nickel-catalyzed ethylene chain walking polymerization. Here, a new range of bulky acenaphthene-based α-diimine nickel complexes with hybrid o-phenyl and -diarylmethyl anilines were constructed and applied to ethylene polymerization. All the nickel complexes under the activation of excess Et2AlCl exhibited good activity (level of 106 g mol-1 h-1) and produced polyethylene with high molecular weight (75.6-352.4 kg/mol) as well as proper branching densities (55-77/1000C). All the branched polyethylenes obtained exhibited high strain (704-1097%) and moderate to high stress (7-25 MPa) at break values. Most interestingly, the polyethylene produced by the methoxy-substituted nickel complex exhibited significantly lower molecular weights and branching densities, as well as significantly poorer strain recovery values (48% vs. 78-80%) than those by the other two complexes under the same conditions.

Abstract
In this study, a series of partially chain-straightened propylene oligomers and functional propylene−methyl acrylate (P-MA) co-oligomers were synthesized with 8-alkyl-iminopyridyl Pd(II) catalysts. The molecular weight and polar monomer incorporation ratio could be tuned by using Pd(II) catalysts with various 8-alkyl-naphthyl substituents (8-alkyl: H, Me, and n-Bu). In propylene oligomerization, all the 8-alkyl-iminopyridyl Pd(II) catalysts convert propylene to partially chain-straightened (119−136/1000 C) oligomers with low molecular weights (0.3−1.5 kg/mol). Among the catalysts, Pd1 with non-substituent (H) on the ligand showed the highest activity of 5.4 × 104 g/((mol of Pd) h), generating oligomers with the lowest molecular weight (Mn: 0.3 kg/mol). Moreover, polar-functionalized propylene-MA co-oligomers with very high incorporation ratios (22.8−36.5 mol %) could be obtained in the copolymerization using these 8-alkyl-iminopyridyl Pd(II) catalysts. Additionally, Pd1 exhibited the best performance in propylene-MA copolymerization as it displayed the highest MA incorporation ratio of up to 36.5 mol%. All the three catalysts are capable of generating partially chain-straightened P-MA co-oligomers and the activities decrease gradually while the molecular weight increases with the increasing steric hindrance of the alkyl substituent (H < Me < n-Bu). Compared to Pd4 with the rigid 8-aryl substituent, the flexible 8-alkyl-iminopyridyl Pd(II) catalysts (Pd1-3) not only showed much higher activities in the propylene oligomerization, but also yielded P-MA co-oligomers with significantly higher incorporation ratios in the propylene co-oligomerization.

Unsymmetrical Strategy on α-Diimine Nickel and Palladium Mediated Ethylene (Co)Polymerizations. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27248942.

Abstract
Among various catalyst design strategies used in the α-diimine nickel(II) and palladium(II) catalyst systems, the unsymmetrical strategy is an effective and widely utilized method. In this contribution, unsymmetrical nickel and palladium α-diimine catalysts (Ipty/iPr-Ni and Ipty/iPr-Pd) derived from the dibenzobarrelene backbone were constructed via the combination of pentiptycenyl and diisopropylphenyl substituents, and investigated toward ethylene (co)polymerization. Both of these catalysts were capable of polymerizing ethylene in a broad temperature range of 0-120 °C, in which Ipty/iPr-Ni could maintain activity in the level of 106 g mol-1 h-1 even at 120 °C. The branching densities of polyethylenes generated by both nickel and palladium catalysts could be modulated by the reaction temperature. Compared with symmetrical Ipty-Ni and iPr-Ni, Ipty/iPr-Ni exhibited the highest activity, the highest polymer molecular weight, and the lowest branching density. In addition, Ipty/iPr-Pd could produce copolymers of ethylene and methyl acrylate, with the polar monomer incorporating both on the main chain and the terminal of branches. Remarkably, the ratio of the in-chain and end-chain polar monomer incorporations could be modulated by varying the temperature.

Abstract
The less-expensive and earth-abundant nickel catalyst is highly promising in the copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers and has thus attracted increasing attention in both industry and academia. Herein, we have summarized the recent advancements made in the state-of-the-art nickel catalysts with different types of ligands for ethylene copolymerization and how these modifications influence the catalyst performance, as well as new polymerization modulation strategies. With regard to α-diimine, salicylaldimine/ketoiminato, phosphino-phenolate, phosphine-sulfonate, bisphospnine monoxide, N-heterocyclic carbene and other unclassified chelates, the properties of each catalyst and fine modulation of key copolymerization parameters (activity, molecular weight, comonomer incorporation rate, etc.) are revealed in detail. Despite significant achievements, many opportunities and possibilities are yet to be fully addressed, and a brief outlook on the future development and long-standing challenges is provided.

Abstract
Polyolefins are the most consumed polymeric materials extensively used in our daily life and are usually generated by coordination polymerization in the polyolefin industry. Olefin polymerization catalysts containing transition metal–organic compound combinations are undoubtedly crucial for the development of the polyolefin industry. The nitrogen donor atom has attracted considerable interest and is widely used in combination with the transition metal for the fine-tuning of the chemical environment around the metal center. In addition to widely reported olefin polymerization catalysts with imine and amide donors (sp2 hybrid N), late transition metal catalysts with chelating amine donors (sp3 hybrid N) for olefin polymerization have never been reviewed. In this review paper, we focus on late transition metal (Ni, Pd, Fe, and Co) catalysts with chelating amines for olefin polymerization. A variety of late transition metal catalysts bearing different neutral amine donors are surveyed for olefin polymerization, including amine–imine, amine–pyridine, α-diamine, and [N, N, N] tridentate ligands with amine donors. The relationship between catalyst structure and catalytic performance is also encompassed. This review aims to promote the design of late transition metal catalysts with unique chelating amine donors for the development of high-performance polyolefin materials.

Abstract
The following family of N,N-diaryl-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadienes, ArN[double bond, length as m-dash]C(Me)C(Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]NAr (Ar = 2,6-Me2-4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}C6H2L1, 2-Me-6-Et-4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}C6H2L2, 2,4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}2-6-MeC6H2L3, 2,4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}2-6-EtC6H2L4, 2,4-{CH(4-FC6H4)2}2-6-iPrC6H2L5), each incorporating para-substituted 4,4-difluorobenzhydryl groups but differing in the ortho-pairing, have been synthesized and used as precursors to their respective nickel(ii) bromide complexes, Ni1-Ni5. Compound characterization has been achieved through a combination of FT-IR, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 19F) and elemental analysis. In addition, L1, Ni1 and Ni5 have been structurally characterized with Ni1 and Ni5 revealing similarly distorted tetrahedral geometries about nickel but with distinct differences in the steric protection offered by the ortho-substituents. All nickel complexes, under suitable activation, showed high activity for ethylene polymerization with a predilection towards forming branched high molecular weight polyethylene with narrow dispersity. Notably the most sterically bulky Ni5, under activation with either EtAlCl2, Et2AlCl or EASC, was exceptionally active (0.9-1.0 × 107 g of PE per (mol of Ni) per h) at an operating temperature of 40 °C. Furthermore, the polyethylene generated displayed molecular weights close to one million g mol-1 (M w range: 829-922 kg mol-1) with high branching densities (86-102/1000 carbons) and a selectivity for short chain branches (% Me = 94.3% (EtAlCl2), 87.2% (Et2AlCl), 87.7% (EASC)). Further analysis of the mechanical properties of the polymers produced at 40 °C and 50 °C using Ni5 highlighted the key role played by crystallinity (X c) and molecular weight (M w) on tensile strength (σ b) and elongation at break (ε b). In addition, stress-strain recovery tests reveal these high molecular weight polymers to exhibit characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

Abstract
Most pyridine-imine Ni(II) and Pd(II) catalysts tend to yield low-molecular-weight polyethylene and ethylene-based copolymers in olefin insertion polymerization, as the unilateral axial steric structure of such complexes often cannot provide effective shielding of the metal center. In this study, we synthesized a series of hybrid "semi-sandwich" and "sandwich" type pyridine-imine Ni(II) complexes by incorporating diarylmethyl or dibenzosuberyl groups onto 8-aryl-naphthyl motif. The as-prepared Ni(II) complexes afforded highly branched polyethylene with high molecular weights (level of 105 g/mol), and moderate activities (level of 105 g/(molh)) in ethylene polymerization. Most interestingly, compared to "semi-sandwich" Ni(II) complexes bearing (2-diarylmethyl-8-aryl)naphthyl units, the "full-sandwich" counterpart containing (2-dibenzosuberyl-8-aryl)naphthyl motif was able to produce higher-molecular-weight polyethylene with higher branching density. In addition, the effect of remote non-conjugated electronic substituents in diarylmethyl groups of the Ni(II) system was also observed in ethylene polymerization.

Abstract
The branching density of polyethylene generated in the α-diimine Pd(II) system is usually very high, largely independent of simple ligand modifications with steric or electronic perturbations, or the polymerization conditions. In this study, we designed and synthesized a class of bulky hybrid α-diimine Pd(II) catalysts combining ortho-diarylmethyl and ortho-phenyl moieties to explore the relationship between the polyethylene microstructure and the spatial structure of catalysts. In ethylene polymerization, the hybrid α-diimine Pd(II) catalysts exhibited high activities (well above 105 g·mol-1·h-1) and yielded highly branched (90-110/1000C) polyethylenes with high molecular weights (up to 278.3 kg/mol). Compared with the two corresponding symmetrical ortho-diarylmethyl-based or ortho-phenyl-based Pd(II) catalysts, the hybrid catalysts generated polyethylene of significantly higher branching densities (92 vs 28-34/1000C) in marked higher activities. Similar phenomena are also observed in the copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers. Moreover, the hybrid Pd(II) catalysts can more efficiently promote the copolymerization of ethylene with various polar monomers in comparison to the corresponding symmetrical catalysts. The more open spatial environment around the metal center by using a hybrid steric strategy was proposed to be responsible for above advantages.

Abstract
This study combined density functional theory (DFT) calculations and multivariate linear regression (MLR) to analyze the monomer poisoning effect in ethylene/polar monomer copolymerization catalyzed by the Brookhart-type catalysts. The calculation results showed that the poisoning effect of polar monomers with relatively electron-deficient functional groups is weaker, such as ethers, and halogens. On the contrary, polar monomers with electron-rich functional groups (carbonyl, carboxyl, and acyl groups) exert a stronger poisoning effect. In addition, three descriptors that significantly affect the poisoning effect have been proposed on the basis of the multiple linear regression model, viz., the chemical shift of the vinyl carbon atom and heteroatom of polar monomer as well as the metal-X distance in the σ-coordination structure. It is expected that these models could guide the development of efficient catalytic copolymerization system in this field.

Abstract
Polyolefins with branches produced by ethylene alone via chain walking are highly desired in industry. Selective branch formation from uncontrolled chain walking is a long-standing challenge to generate exclusively branched polyolefins, however. Here we report such desirable microstructures in ethylene polymerization by using sterically constrained α-diimine nickel(II)/palladium(II) catalysts at 30 °C–90 °C that fall into industrial conditions. Branched polyethylenes with exclusive branch pattern of methyl branches (99%) and notably selective branch distribution of 1,4-Me2 unit (86%) can be generated. The ultrahigh degree of branching (>200 Me/1000 C) enables the well-defined product to mimic ethylene-propylene copolymers. More interestingly, branch distribution is predictable and computable by using a simple statistical model of p(1-p)n (p: the probability of branch formation). Mechanistic insights into the branch formation including branch pattern and branch distribution by an in-depth density functional theory (DFT) calculation are elucidated. Selective branch formation from uncontrolled chain walking is a longstanding challenge to generate exclusively branched polyolefins. Here the authors report such desirable microstructures in ethylene polymerization enabled by a nickel catalyst at 30 °C–90 °C that fall into industrial conditions and mimic ethylene-propylene copolymers.

Abstract
8-Arylnaphthyl substituents are privileged motifs frequently integrated into late-transition-metal catalysts, endowing them with an ability to retard chain transfer in ethylene polymerization. In this contribution, we disclose a sort of novel α-diiminenickel and -palladium complexes containing flexible 8-alkylnaphthyl in lieu of rigid 8-arylnaphthyl and their catalytic performance in ethylene polymerization. An interesting feature of these 8-alkylnaphthyl-substituted α-(diimine)PdMeCl complexes is that they present as a mixture of syn and anti isomers (syn:anti = ca. 1:1 ratio, determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy). In ethylene polymerization, these nickel complexes displayed high activity (up to 3.37 × 106 g mol-1 h-1) and generated branched polyethylenes with broad or bimodal molecular weight distributions (4.6-29.3), while the corresponding palladium complexes exhibited moderate activity, producing highly branched polyethylenes with unimodal and narrow molecular weight distributions (<1.8). In ethylene (E)/methyl acrylate (MA) copolymerization, highly branched E-MA copolymers with considerable MA incorporations were achieved by these palladium complexes. Most interestingly, compared to rigid 8-arylnaphthyl-substituted α-diiminenickel and -palladium complexes, the flexible 8-alkylnaphthyl ones showed significantly improved activity and generated lower or comparable molecular weight polyethylenes or E-MA copolymers.

Abstract
Increasing the thermostability of α-diimine late-transition-metal complexes and therefore rendering them more active at higher temperatures is of great importance, yet challenging for the olefin polymerization field. In the present research, a new family of α-diimine palladium complexes that can promote norbornene polymerization at high temperatures (up to 140 °C) is disclosed. Because of the conformational restriction caused by increasing the axial and equatorial bulkiness as well as the presence of intraligand H···F hydrogen bonds, N-aryl rotations can be efficiently restricted, therefore circumventing the deactivation of the active species at high temperatures. At 80-140 °C, these complexes can efficiently catalyze norbornene homopolymerizations, giving high catalytic activities up to 5.65 × 107 g of PNB per mole Ni per hour and polymers with high molecular weights up to 37.2 × 104 g/mol, which are highly superior to catalytic systems mediated by CF3-free complexes. Moreover, these complexes could also afford medium catalytic activities in the presence of polar 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (NB-COOCH3).
