Abstract
About 50 years after the discovery of Ziegler–Natta catalysts, phenoxy–imine-based group 4 transition metal complexes (FI catalysts) emerged as the next frontier catalysts for the controlled (co)polymerization of olefinic monomers. FI catalysts are highly versatile catalysts capable of producing a wide range of novel polymer architectures. The inherent electronic and structural features of FI catalysts and the accessibility and variability of the phenoxy–imine ligands offer precise control over olefin polymerization. This chapter deals with the key features of FI catalysts, homopolymerization and copolymerization by FI catalysts, and the value-added olefin-based materials that can be produced with FI catalysts.
