Living Coordinative Chain-Transfer Polymerization and Copolymerization of Ethene, α-Olefins, and α,ω-Nonconjugated Dienes using Dialkylzinc as “Surrogate” Chain-Growth Sites
TL;DR: In this paper, living coordinative chain-transfer polymerization (CCTP) of ethene, α-olefins, and α,ω-non-conjugated dienes was proposed.

Aufbaureaktion Redux: Scalable Production of Precision Hydrocarbons from AlR3 (R=Et or iBu) by Dialkyl Zinc Mediated Ternary Living Coordinative Chain‐Transfer Polymerization
TL;DR: The ability of t-LCCTP to provide scalable volumes of these materials in a simple atom-economical and cost-effective manner from existing commodity AlR3 reagents at ambient temperatures is highly comparable to the original Ziegler process.

Dinuclear Bis-Propagators for the Stereoselective Living Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerization of Propene
TL;DR: Modulation of steric interactions remote from the active sites within a series of dinuclear bis-propagators derived from racemic 2-4 was used to attenuate the rate of reversible chain transfer between active transition-metal centers and excess equivalents of inactive main-group-metal alkyl species relative to chain growth propagation, for stereoselective living coordinative chain transfer polymerization of propene.

Programmable Modulation of Co‐monomer Relative Reactivities for Living Coordination Polymerization through Reversible Chain Transfer between “Tight” and “Loose” Ion Pairs
TL;DR: The successful extension of living coordinative chaintransfer polymerization (LCCTP) to include rapid and reversible chain (polymeryl-group) transfer between two populations of “tight” and “loose” propagating ion pairs, as mediated by an excess amount of a dialkyl zinc species ZnR2, which provides additional “surrogate” chain-growth centers.

N-Substituted Iminocaprolactams as Versatile and Low Cost Ligands in Group 4 Metal Initiators for the Living Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerization of α-Olefins
TL;DR: In this article, a new structurally diverse ligand for metal complexes, the (κ2-N,N)-iminocaprolactam group, that can be obtained in large bulk quantities from inexpensive and readily available starting materials, is introduced.
