Insertion polymerization of acrylate.
Multiple insertions of acrylate in copolymerization with ethylene, and an insertion homo-oligomerization of methyl acrylate were observed for the first time. Key to these findings, and to mechanistic insights reported, are labile-substituted complexes as catalyst precursors.
