Ethylene/Polar Monomer Copolymerization Behavior of Bis(phenoxy-imine)Ti Complexes: Formation of Polar Monomer Copolymers

Bis(phenoxy-imine) Ti complexes bearing a phenyl group ortho to the phenoxy-O can mediate the copolymerization of ethylene and 5-hexene-1-yl-acetate though they are group 4 transition metal catalysts.
