A highly efficient titanium-based olefin polymerisation catalyst with a monoanionic iminoimidazolidide pi-donor ancillary ligand.
The titanium complex Cp[1,3-(2',6'-Me2C6H3)2(CH2N)2C=N]Ti(CH2Ph)2, with a monoanionic eta 1-iminoimidazolidide ancillary ligand, is shown to be a highly efficient catalyst for olefin polymerisation when activated with the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3.
