Unprecedented coordination-insertion polymerizations of polar methoxyl substituted styrene derivatives, in despite of the position of the substituent, have been achieved using a pyridyl methylene fluorenyl yttrium bis(alkyl) precursor with high activity to give polar polystyrenes of high molecular weight and perfect syndiotacticity.

The stereoselective polymerization of polar vinyl monomers has recently received much attention due to their excellent physicochemical properties. Over the past decade, breakthroughs have been achieved in this field by rare-earth catalysts. However, the mechanistic origins of those stereoselective polymerizations still remain unclear.

Styrene underwent unprecedented coordination-insertion copolymerization with naked polar monomers (ortho-/meta-/para-methoxystyrene) in the presence of a pyridyl methylene fluorenyl yttrium catalyst. High activity (1.26×10 g mol h ) and excellent syndioselectivity were observed, and high-molecular-weight copolymers (24.

A series of rare-earth-metal-hydrocarbyl complexes bearing N-type functionalized cyclopentadienyl (Cp) and fluorenyl (Flu) ligands were facilely synthesized. Treatment of [Y(CH(2)SiMe(3))(3)(thf)(2)] with equimolar amount of the electron-donating aminophenyl-Cp ligand C(5)Me(4)H-C(6)H(4)-o-NMe(2) afforded the corresponding binuclear monoalkyl complex [({C(5)Me(4)-C(6)H(4)-o-NMe(μ-CH(2))}Y{CH(2)SiMe(3)})(2)] (1a) via alkyl abstraction and C-H activation of the NMe(2) group. The lutetium bis(allyl) complex [(C(5)Me(4)-C(6)H(4)-o-NMe(2))Lu(η(3)-C(3)H(5))(2)] (2b), which contained an electron-donating aminophenyl-Cp ligand, was isolated from the sequential metathesis reactions of LuCl(3) with (C(5)Me(4)-C(6)H(4)-o-NMe(2))Li (1 equiv) and C(3)H(5)MgCl (2 equiv).
