Syntheses and Preferred Structure Elucidation of <i>N</i> ‐heterocyclic Imine Nickel and Cobalt Catalysts for MMA Polymerization

Here, similar precursors were reacted with the same amine to observe the structural differences of the resulting ligands, and used for the preparation of nickel and cobalt catalysts for MMA polymerization. The mononuclear cobalt complexes based on pyridyl structures were found to be the most effective catalysts.
