Structurally characterized intermediates in the stepwise insertion of CO-ethylene or CO-methyl acrylate into the metal-carbon bond of Pd(II) complexes stabilized by (phosphinomethyl)oxazoline ligands.

TL;DR: The first general palladium-catalyzed carbonylative vinylation of aryl halides with olefins in the presence of CO has been developed and the generality and functional group tolerance of this novel protocol is demonstrated.

TL;DR: Theoretical studies by DFT methods of consecutive acrylate insertion provide relative energies of intermediates and transition states, which are consistent with the aforementioned experimental observations, and give detailed insights to the pathways of multiple consecutive acylate insertions.

TL;DR: A review of pyrazolyl metal complexes as nitrogen-donor catalysts, particularly in carbon-carbon coupling reactions, can be found in this paper, where the focus is on olefin oligomerization and polymerization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reactivity of cyclometalated iridium and rhodium complexes with ancillary ligands with different electronic and steric properties has been investigated by reactions of ethylene (a), propylene (b), carbon monoxide (c), tert-butylisocyanide (d), acetylene (e), and phenylacetylene (f).

TL;DR: Even late transition metal complexes function as active and selective catalysts for α-olefin polymerization, and an intense search has developed for new-generation catalysts, in both academic and industrial research laboratories.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of reaction conditions and catalyst structure on the copolymerization reaction were rationalized, and the effect of the acrylate comonomer at the ends of branches as −CH2CH2C(O)OMe groups was analyzed.
