“Living” Polymerization of Ethylene and 1-Hexene Using Novel Binuclear Pd–Diimine Catalysts

We report the synthesis of two novel binuclear Pd–diimine catalysts and their unique behaviors in initiating “living” polymerization of ethylene and 1-hexene. These two binuclear catalysts, [(N^N)Pd(CH2)3C(O)O(CH2)mO(O)C(CH2)3Pd(N^N)](SbF6)2 (3a: m = 4, 3b: m = 6) (N^N≡ArN=C(Me)–(Me)C=NAr, Ar≡2,6–(i...
