Bis(imino)pyridine cobalt alkyl complexes and their reactivity towards ethylene: a model system for beta-hydrogen chain transfer.
Bis(imino)pyridine cobalt(I) n-alkyl complexes react with ethylene by beta-hydrogen transfer, allowing direct study of a termination step commonly encountered in polymerisation and oligomerisation catalysis.
