Recently, late-transition-metal-catalyzed chain-walking polymerization has emerged as a promising method for synthesizing range of polyethylenes, including linear, branched, and hyperbranched structures, solely from ethylene feedstock. The spatial configuration the catalyst is crucial factor in determining branching patterns observed resulting polyethylene. In this study, we designed employed series stereoscopically bulky α-diimine Ni(II) Pd(II) complexes featuring axial flexible cycloalkyl substituents an equatorial rigid dibenzobarrelene backbone (co)polymerization. These exhibited high catalytic activity, reaching up to 106 g/(mol Ni·h), yielded very-high-molecular-weight polyethylene with extremely narrow molecular weight distributions (1.00–1.27) very densities (105–153/1000C) living behavior under various temperatures. Most interestingly, density cyclohexyl-substituted complex almost independent conditions ultrahighly branched ultrahigh (up 1097 kg/mol) can be accessed. On other hand, corresponding also demonstrated moderate achieving 105 Pd·h), highly weights ranging 160.8 511.9 kg/mol. Moreover, these were capable generating high-molecular-weight E-MA copolymers adjustable incorporation ratios (0.85–2.77 mol %) (106–117/1000C). Through comparative analysis single-crystal structures DFT calculations, found that create interesting ligand environment favors chain walking over propagation nickel-catalyzed system. This finding provides valuable insights into design more efficient controllable catalysts synthesis polyethylenes tailored properties.

Chain walking and chain transfer are the two most important events that determine structure molecular weight of resulting polyolefin in imine-based late transition metal-catalyzed ethylene (co)polymerization. In this study, we have demonstrated nitrogen-containing iminodibenzyl substituents effective suppression during α-diimine Ni(II)- Pd(II)-catalyzed For purpose, several Ni(II) Pd(II) complexes with N-diphenyl or been designed, prepared, described. case nickel-catalyzed polymerization, catalyst exhibited higher activities yielded polyethylenes orders magnitude weights than catalyst. Similar observations were also found polymerization copolymerization methyl acrylate catalyzed by corresponding palladium catalysts. Compared to dibenzosuberyl catalysts, catalysts an excellent ability suppress process produced (co)polymers significantly lower branching densities It was proposed observed phenomenon is caused second coordination sphere effects substituents.
