Monoalkyl, chiral-at-metal constrained geometry complexes as efficient -olefin and methyl methacrylate polymerisation catalysts

Jizhu Jin, David R. Wilson and Eugene Y.-X. Chen


A new class of monoalkyl or monochloro constrained geometry group 4 complexes has been synthesized; upon activation with aluminium activators they serve as efficient catalysts for olefin polymerisation and for polymerisation of methyl methacrylate.
