Intramolecular σ-bond metathesis/protonolysis on zirconium(IV) and hafnium(IV) pyridylamido olefin polymerization catalyst precursors: Exploring unexpected reactivity paths

摘要

A temperature-controlled metathesis/protonolysis takes place on group 4 amidopyridinate polymerization catalyst precursors. Unraveling this unprecedented reactivity path allowed us to highlight the importance of the metal precursor choice while preparing improved catalytic structures or studying new catalytic processes.
