In this study, we present the synthesis and characterization of two bis(imino)pyridyl ligands featuring flexible <i>o</i>-aryl cycloalkyl substituents, along with their corresponding iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes. These complexes exhibited very high polymerization activities, reaching up to 1.8 × 10<sup>7</sup> g mol<sup>–1</sup> h<sup>–1</sup>, and produced highly linear polyethylene with a wide range of molecular weights (MW = 2.1–232.8 kg/mol) during ethylene polymerization. The sizes of the cycloalkyl ring and the metal species were found to have a substantial impact on the polymerization process. Specifically, smaller cyclopentyl substituents enhanced polymerization activity and increased the molecular weight of the resulting polyethylene for both iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes compared to their cyclohexyl counterparts. When complexes with the same ligand were compared, iron(II) species generated polyethylene with higher molecular weights and broader molecular weight distributions in comparison to the corresponding cobalt(II) species under identical conditions. The most striking finding is the significant selectivity of the metal species in our system for different chain transfer modes. Analysis of the molecular weight distributions and chain-end structures of the resulting polyethylene revealed that chain transfer to the cocatalyst MAO predominates in iron(II)-catalyzed ethylene polymerization, whereas in cobalt(II)-catalyzed ethylene polymerization, chain transfer to the monomer ethylene is the primary mode.","PeriodicalId":40,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143393673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
