Bis(imino)pyridine Iron and Cobalt Complexes Immobilized into Interlayer Space of Fluorotetrasilicic Mica: Highly Active Heterogeneous Catalysts for Polymerization of Ethylene

Abstract

Abstract Heterogeneous catalysts assembled by the intercalation of a bis(imino)pyridine ligand into late metal ion-exchanged clay mineral interlayers with the simultaneous coordination of the ligand to the interlayer cations were found to be highly active for ethylene polymerization.
