Abstract

The innovation of polyolefin with unique architecture, composition and topology continues to inspire polymer chemists. An exciting recent direction in the polyolefin field is the design of new catalysts based on late-transition metals. In this review, we highlight recent developments in rationally designing late-transition metal catalysts for olefin polymerization. The examples described in this review showcase the power of the design of well-defined late-metal catalysts for tailored polyolefin synthesis, which may usher in a new era in the polymer industry. © 2010 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
