Abstract

A series of nickel(II) dihalide complexes (C1–C10) bearing unsymmetrical a-diimine ligands of the type 2,4-dibenzhydryl-N-(2-phenyliminoacenaphthylenylidene)-6-methylbenzenamine (L1–L5) were synthesized and fully characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a distorted tetrahedral geometry around the nickel center in the complexes C3, C5 and C9. Upon activation with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), all nickel pro-catalysts performed with high activities in ethylene polymerization, producing highly branched polyethylene products
