A structurally characterized Ni-Al methyl-bridged complex with catalytic ethylene oligomerization activity.
A bimetallic Ni-Al (2.5087(15) A) complex with an agostic alpha-C-H, [eta-C5H4CH=N(C6F5)]Fe[eta-C5H4PPh2]Ni(AlMe3), has been isolated and crystallographically established. The complex is active towards ethylene oligomerization/polymerization under moderate conditions.
