Rapid atom-efficient polyolefin plastics hydrogenolysis mediated by a well-defined single-site electrophilic/cationic organo-zirconium catalyst
Polyolefins are a major fraction of plastic waste, yet their catalytic recycling is challenging due to their inert hydrocarbon structures. Here a well-defined supported organozirconium catalyst is shown to mediate the rapid hydrogenolytic cleavage diverse polyolefins under very mild conditions.
