Synthesis of block copolymer with cis-1,4-polybutadiene and isotactic-rich polystyrene using α-diimine nickel catalysts

A series of styrene-butadiene di-block copolymers with high cis-1,4 unit content (greater than 92%) polybutadiene (PB) and isotactic-rich polystyrene (PS) (mmmm > 65%) was synthesized using α-diimine nickel catalysts (Ni-diimine). Four different Ni-diimine catalysts were synthesized via a complex...
