Description
Summary:A series of iron complexes bearing a bis(imino)pyridine ligand were synthesised and examined as precatalysts for homopolymerisation of propylene. The alkyl substituents attached to the aryl group on the imine nitrogen atoms significantly affected the catalytic activity and molecular weight of the obtained polypropylenes. Copolymerisation of propylene and various allyl comonomers catalysed by iron/bis(imino)pyridine was also investigated. A series of iron complexes bearing a bis(imino)pyridine ligand were synthesised and examined as precatalysts for homopolymerisation of propylene and copolymerisation of propylene with allyl monomers.
