Copolymerization of vinyl acetate with ethylene by palladium/alkylphosphine-sulfonate catalysts.
Coordination copolymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) with ethylene, leading to linear copolymers that possess in-chain -CH(2)CH(OAc)- units, has been accomplished using novel palladium complexes bearing alkylphosphine-sulfonate ligands.
