Synthesis, ethylene polymerization and dynamic features of titanium and zirconium complexes bearing chelating malonate-based enaminoketonato ligands

Synthesis of new titanium and zirconium dichloro complexes bearing malonate-based enaminoketonato (N,O) ligand is described. NMR studies of the catalyst precursors reveal that synthesized complexes have different configurational isomers in solution state and that they undergo structural change within NMR timescale. After MAO activation complexes exhibited low to moderate activities in ethylene polymerization producing bi- or multimodal polyethylenes.
