title: Synthesis of a new olefin polymerization catalyst supported by an sp3-C donor via insertion of a ligand-appended alkene into the Hf-C bond of a neutral pyridylamidohafnium trimethyl complex.
abstract: A new living and isoselective propylene polymerization precatalyst was generated via the intramolecular insertion of a ligand-appended vinyl group into the Hf-C bond of a neutral pyridylamidohafnium trimethyl complex.
