Abstract

AbstractPalladium catalysts modified with iminopyridine ligands were employed for ethylene/CO and styrene/CO copolymerization and ethylene/styrene/CO terpolymerization. Our studies revealed that the steric and electronic effects of the catalysts play key, yet distinct roles in these polymerization reactions. The thermal properties of the polyketones were engineered by varying the styrene content in terpolymers derived from ethylene, styrene, and CO sources, with increased styrene ratios yielding reduced polyketone crystallinity.
