Redox Switchable Coordination Catalysis: An Advanced Tool for Catalyst Control and Tailored Polyolefin Synthesis

Abstract

The growing demand for polyolefins with tailored physical and mechanical properties has guaranteed that the development of innovative polymerization catalysts will persist at the frontier of scientific research. Though earlyolefin polymerization catalysts were ill-defined, heterogeneous mixtures containing multiple dissimilar active sites, the introduction of well-defined, homogeneous, single-site catalysts has since revolutionized the field of polyolefinresearch.
