Me, myself, and styrene: Yttrium and neodymium allyl complexes bearing a bridged bis(indenyl) ligand (Cat.; Ln=Y, Nd) are active single-component catalysts for the polymerization of styrene up to 120 °C, giving highly isotactic polystyrene (iPS), with number-average molecular weights (Mn) of 12 000–102 000 and polydispersities (Mw/Mn) of 1.5–2.6.
