Anionic and neutral hydrocarbyl groups

Cyclopentadienyl ligands have become extremely important in catalysis for metal such as Ti, Zr, and Hf (Chapter 10) and in academic studies of related elements such as Ta. Ethylene polymerisation with the use of CpiTiCE (alkylated with aluminium alkyl compounds) has been known for many decades, but the intensive interest in derivatives of these compounds started in the early 1980 s following the discovery of MAO (methaluminoxane - see chapter 10) which boosted metallocene catalyst activities by several orders of magnitude. Commercial interest focussed on ethylene copolymers (LLDPE where more homogeneous comonomer incorporation resulted in greatly improved copolymer properties) and in enantiospecific polymerisations for propene, styrene, etc. [Pg.20]

Aromatics occur as ligands in ruthenium complexes that are used for hydrogen transfer reaction, i.e. two hydrogen atoms are transferred from a donor molecule, e.g. an alcohol, to a ketone, producing another alcohol. Especially the enantiospecific variant has become important, see Chapter 4.4. The substitution pattern of the aromatic compound influences the enantioselectivity of the reaction. [Pg.20]

Aromatics have also been utilised as ligands in nickel complexes recently reported to be highly active in the addition (or vinyl-type) polymerisation of [Pg.20]
