Tacticity control of polypropylene using a C₂-symmetric family of catalysts /

A family of C₂-symmetric catalysts was designed and synthesized with the intent to polymerize propylene. The catalyst was designed to be C₂-symmetric for the specific goal that the catalyst would have two identical sites for the propagation of the polymer and therefore eliminate some of the stereoer...
