New rare-earth metal complexes bearing the ligand C5Me4-C6H4-o-CH2NMe2 were synthesized and studied as precatalysts for isoprene, 1-hexene and MMA polymerization.
We report the synthesis and catalytic properties of novel [Ni(Cp)(X)(NHC)] complexes with ring-expanded NHC ligands of six-, seven-, and eight-membered heterocycles.
