Abstract: A composition is provided that includes a product of combining, in the presence of a free radical initiator a catalyst precursor and at least one monomer wherein the monomer and the catalyst precursor are poiymerizable by free-radical polymerization and wherein the catalyst precursor compound is represented by the formula: wherein each X is an abstractable ligand; each R, R?, R?, R??, Rp1 and Rp2 is independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group provided at least one of Rp1, Rp2, and R?? can be polymerized by a free radical initiator; and M is a Group-4-11 metal.

Abstract: Copolymerization of Ni(H) or Co(II) acenaphthene diimine complexes containing olefinic substituents on aryl groups in the presence of a free radical initiator results in polymerized late transition metal catalysts which can be used for olefin polymerization or oligomerization. These catalysts have high catalyst activity for olefin polymerization or oligomerization.

Abstract: Copolymerization of Ni(II) phenol imine complexes containing olefinic substituents on aryl groups with styrene in the presence of a radical initiator results in polymerized late transition metal catalysts which can be used for olefin polymerization or oligomerization. These catalysts have high catalyst activity for olefin polymerization or oligomerization.

Abstract: Copolymerization of Fe(II) or Co(II) pyridine diimine complexes containing olefinic substituents on aryl groups with styrene in the presence of a radical initiator results in polymerized late transition metal catalysts which can be used for olefin polymerization or oligomerization. These catalysts have high catalyst activity for olefin polymerization or oligomerization.

Abstract: Free-radical-initiated copolymerization of metallocene complexes containing olefinic substituents on aryl groups with styrene results in polymerized late transition metal catalysts that can be used for olefin polymerization or oligomerization. These catalysts have high catalyst activity for olefin polymerization or oligomerization.
