  • Publication number: 20130281653
    Abstract: This invention is reporting new N-heterocyclic carbene based zirconium (or hafnium) complexes and their uses as catalysts for the lactones ring opening polymerization. These new catalysts are robust and versatile and exert control over polymer molecular weight and/or stereochemistry and exhibit high reactivity (cf. for low temperature applications). In particular the new catalysts show both enhanced activity and at the same time a better selectivity than the catalysts employed by the prior art.

  • Patent number: 6228794
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel catalysts, processes of synthesizing the catalysts and to olefin polymerization processes using the catalysts. The catalysts are cationic complexes comprising a Group 13 element and certain ligands. These compounds behave similarly to Ziegler-Natta catalysts but effectively catalyze the polymerization of olefins in the absence of any transition metal.
