beside ziegler-natta and phillips catalysts the development of methylaluminoxane (mao) as cocatalyst incombination with metallocenes or other transition metal complexes for the polymerization of olefins haswidely increased the possibilities in controlling the polymer composition, polymer structure, tacticity and special properties with high precision. these catalysts allow the synthesis of isot...

The indium complex InL(2)N'' has been prepared from the reaction of 2 equiv of ((t)Bu)(2)P(O)CH(2)CH((t)Bu)OH (HL) with InN''(3) (N'' = N(SiMe(3))(2)). This complex reacts with a further equivalent of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol or HL to afford the adducts InL(2)(OAr) and InL(3), respectively. Confirmation that the anion L(-) exhibits "ligand self-recognition" in the formation of predominantly homo...
