title: The ligand redox behavior and role in 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]-acenaphthene nickel-TMA(MAO) systems for ethylene polymerization.
abstract: The BIAN ligands in Brookhart catalysts were proved to be redox-active during the catalyst activation with alkylaluminum or MAO, and the neutral catalytically active species with a radical anionic BIAN rather than the cationic ones with a neutral BIAN ligand were confirmed to be formed in the catalytic system.
