description

Abstract Nickel(II) and palladium(II) centers were coordinated to a series of chiral 1,4-diazadiene ligands. The ligand backbones are camphor derivatives and the imine nitrogens are attached to independently varied 2- and 2,6-substituted aryl groups. Upon activation with methyl-aluminoxane, the dibromo nickel complexes polymerize ethylene and 1-hexene. The polymerization properties are dependent on the steric features of the aryl substituents on the imine nitrogens.
