Nickel complexes supported by a new class of fused imidazonaphthyridine tridentate N,N,N-ligands for ethylene oligomerization and isolation of a key Ni–Al intermediate
Abstract
A new class of fused imidazonaphthyridine N,N,N-ligands were used for nickel-catalyzed ethylene dimerization, achieving high activity with high selectivity. Isolation of a key Ni–Al intermediate elucidates the critical role of the co-catalyst.
