Abstract

In this article we reported synthesis, characterization and ethylene polymerization behavior of two new late transition metal 2,6-bis(imino)pyridine catalysts based on iron(II) possessing different substituents of NO2 (catalyst b) and OMe (catalyst c) at the para position of the pyridine ring. Theoretical study exhibited more positive charge on the central metal of the catalyst b, leading to higher activity offset by lower thermal stability and life time.

Graphical Abstract

Synthesis, characterization, and ethylene polymerization behavior of two novel late transition metal 2,6-bis(imino)pyridine catalysts based on iron(II) possessing different substituents at the para position of the pyridine ring have been reported.
