The propensity of a half-sandwich (η⁵-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) dimethylsilylamido Ti(IV)-based catalyst bearing an auxiliary diethylboryl-protected pyridyl moiety (Ti-8), activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) to homopolymerize α-olefins such as ethylene, 1-hexene and styrene as well as to copolymerize styrene with 1,3-cyclo-hexadiene is described. The reactivity of Ti-8 was investigated in comparison to a 6-(2-(diethylboryl)phenyl)pyrid-2-yl-free analogue (Ti-3).

The covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGylation) to materials minimizes non-specific fouling of the material surface with biocomponents. While the PEGylation reaction on polar surfaces is widely used and regarded as a common technique, the PEGylation on less polar polymers and elastomers is extremely difficult due to the absence of reactive points with PEG terminus. Herein, the design and synthesis of an orthogonal agent with a nitrile N-oxide and a phenyl carbamate that can mediate between an alkene and an amine are reported.

α-Olefins are very important bulk and fine chemicals and their synthesis from ethylene, an abundantly available and inexpensive feedstock, is highly attractive. Unfortunately, the direct or on-purpose synthesis of olefins from ethylene is limited to three examples, 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene, all having a linear structure. Herein, the direct synthesis of 3-methylenepentane and 4-ethylhex-1-ene, branched trimerization, and tetramerization products of ethylene, respectively, is reported.

Article Synopsis
- A new series of diphosphinoamine (PNP) ligands with -alkenyl groups were developed and used in a chromium-catalyzed process to selectively produce ethylene tri- and tetramers.
- The performance of these ligands and the conditions for oligomerization significantly affected the catalytic activity and selectivity of the resulting products.
- One ligand containing a cyclohexyl group achieved the highest activity of 2036 kg (g Cr h) with 81.1% selectivity for valuable compounds like 1-hexene and 1-octene under specific conditions of temperature and pressure.

Exploring the surface organometallic chemistry on silica of highly electrophilic yttrium complexes is a relatively uncommon endeavor, particularly when focusing on tris-alkyl complexes characterized by Y-C σ-alkyl bonds. A drawback with this class of complexes once grafted on silica, is the frequent occurrence of alkyl transfer by ring opening of siloxane groups, resulting in a mixture of species. Herein, we employed a more stable homoleptic yttrium allyl complex bearing bulky η-1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)allyl ligand to limit this transfer reaction.

The preparation of dizirconium complexes based on a novel bis(indenyl)-(/)-stilbene platform was explored. Negishi coupling between the -generated diorganozincates obtained from the respective //-(/)-dibromostilbenes and the bromo-functionalized zirconocene (η-Cp*)(η-2-methyl-4-bromoindenyl)ZrCl, or, alternatively, the preparation of bis(indene)stilbene pro-ligands {//-(/)-BisIndSB}H through Negishi coupling of the corresponding dibromostilbenes with 4-bromoindene and subsequent metallation/transmetallation with Cp*ZrCl or Zr(NMe), allowed the preparation of a series of dinuclear complexes. These were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and some of them by iASAP-mass spectrometry and by X-ray diffraction studies.
