Journal ArticleDOI

Polymerisation of ethene by the novel titanium complex [Ti(Me3SiNCH2CH2NSiMe3)Cl2]; a metallocene analogue

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of the trimethylsilylated diamine ligand (Me3Si)NHCH2CH2NH(SiMe3) with titanium(IV) precursors affords the novel distorted-tetrahedral complex [Ti(Me 3SiNCH 2CH2NSiMe3]Cl2] which, when activated by methylaluminoxane, is an active ethene polymerisation catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI

N-alkyl-2-pyridylmethanimines as tuneable alternatives to bipyridine ligands in copper mediated atom transfer radical cyclisation

TL;DR: Copper halide complexes of N-alkyl-2-pyridylmethanimines catalyse atom transfer radical cyclisation reactions of activated ( 6a-b ) and unactivated α-haloallylacetamides ( 9 ) at room temperature as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

[N‐Alkyl‐(2‐pyridyl)methanimine]copper(I) Complexes: Characterisation and Application as Catalysts for Atom‐Transfer Polymerisation

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and characterisation of a series of bis(imine)copper(I) complexes and their use in atom-transfer polymerisation of methyl methacrylate is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atom transfer polymerisation of methyl methacrylate: use of chiral aryl/alkyl pyridylmethanimine ligands; with copper(I) bromide and as structurally characterised chiral copper(I) complexes

TL;DR: The use of chiral catalysts in the living radical polymerisation of methyl methacrylate via atom transfer polymerisation (ATP) has been investigated in an effort to control the stereochemistry of the polymer backbone as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Mechanism of Formation of Syndiotactic Polystyrene Using a (tert-Butylcyclopentadienyl)titanium Complex

TL;DR: Polymerization of styrene in the presence of [Ti(η5-C5H4tBu)Cl3]-methylaluminoxane has been investigated as discussed by the authors.
