A remarkable inversion of structure-activity dependence on imido N-substituents with varying co-ligand topology and the synthesis of a new borate-free zwitterionic polymerisation catalyst.

Ethylene polymerisation productivities of tris(pyrazolyl)methane-supported catalysts [Ti(NR){HC(Me2pz)3}Cl2] show a dramatically different dependence on the imido R-group compared to those of their TACN analogues, attributed to differences in fac-N3 donor topology; when treated with AliBu3, the zwit...
