Direct Synthesis of Branched Carboxylic Acid Functionalized Poly(1-octene) by α-Diimine Palladium Catalysts

In this work, we studied propylene polymerization using some α-diimine palladium catalysts with systematically varied ligand sterics. In propylene polymerization, the ligand steric effect exhibits significant variations on the catalytic activity, polymer molecular weight, and branching density. Howe...
