Description
Summary:In this perspective, recent developments on palladium and nickel mediated chain walking olefin polymerization and copolymerization with polar functionalized comonomers are described. First, the chain walking polymerization mechanism is discussed followed by its implications in olefin polymerization and copolymerization. Then, recent advances in catalyst design are provided. Special attention is paid to the influence of ligand structures on the catalytic properties. Subsequently, the applications of these chain walking polymerization catalysts in the synthesis of functionalized hyperbranched polymers and copolymers are summarized. Finally, some recent developments and perspectives on very fast and very slow chain walking polymerization catalysts are discussed.
