Homo- and Copolymerizations of Ethylene and Norbornene Using Bis(β-ketoamino) Titanium Catalysts Containing Pyrazolone Rings

A series of bis(β-ketoamino) titanium complexes containing pyrazolone rings (1–3) have been synthesized, characterized, and used as precursors for homo- and copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene. The titanium complexes activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) exhibited good activities for homopo...
