title: From atactic to isotactic CO/p-methylstyrene copolymer by proper modification of Pd(II) catalysts bearing achiral alpha-diimines.
abstract: Cationic Pd(II) complexes modified with achiral C(2v)-symmetric alpha-diimine ligands allow preparation of atactic or isotactic stereoblock CO/p-methylstyrene copolymers; both catalyst activity and polyketone microstructure depend on the choice of alpha-diimine substituents and counterion.
