YWYing WangXXXiaowei XuYLYi Luo

Key Points

  • To understand how different ligands and substituents affect the activity of nickel enolate catalysts in copolymerization.
  • Used density functional theory (DFT) for simulations
  • Analyzed copolymerization mechanisms of ethylene with tert-butyl acrylate (tBA)
  • Compared various neutral nickel enolate complexes with distinct substituents
  • Identified specific ligand effects on catalytic activity
  • Found that substituents significantly influence copolymerization efficiency
  • Demonstrated a clear relationship between ligand structure and reaction behavior

Abstract

In this study, density functional theory (DFT) was employed to investigate the copolymerization mechanism of ethylene with tert -butyl acrylate (tBA) catalyzed by neutral nickel enolate complexes featuring distinct substituents. It...
