IRON COMPLEXES AND METHODS FOR POLYMERIZATION

摘要

Provided are methods of preparing polymers, such as polyisoprene, polybutadiene, polypiperylene, polycyclohexadiene, poly-ß-farnesene, or poly-ß-myrcene, using iron complexes. Also provided are novel iron complexes, pre-catalysts, intermediates, and ligands useful in the inventive polymerization system.
