title: Copolymerisation of ethylene with polar monomers by using palladium catalysts bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine oxide bidentate ligand.
abstract: We report the synthesis and characterisation of palladium complexes bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine oxide bidentate ligand and their use as catalysts for ethylene polymerisation and ethylene/polar monomer copolymerisation.
