Abstract

Vanadyl complexes of C or N-capped tripodal ligands, possessing distorted tetrahedral geometry at vanadium, serve as extremely active, thermally robust pro-catalysts for ethylene homo- and ethylene/propylene copolymerisation, whereas pseudo-octahedral pro-catalysts produce far lower activities.
