Cyclophane-Based Highly Active Late-Transition-Metal Catalysts for Ethylene Polymerization

摘要

Cyclophane chemistry has evolved into an exciting research area stemming from simple curiosity of the syntheses and structures to the exploitation of physical properties of cyclophanes for various applications including molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, and biomimics.[1] A plethora of literature describing cyclophane–metal host–guest chemistry indicates the potential application of cyclophanes as ligands in metal-catalyzed transformations.
