Living polymerization of ethylene and alpha-olefins using a nickel alpha-keto-beta-diimine initiator.
A nickel alpha-keto-beta-diimine initiator can be activated using treated methylaluminoxane (MAO) to generate active sites capable of the polymerization of ethylene, propene and 1-hexene under living conditions.
