Designing highly active supported ethylene polymerization catalysts that do not require a co‐catalyst to generate electrophilic metal alkyl species is still a challenge despite its industrial relevance. Described herein is the synthesis and characterization of well‐defined silica‐supported cyclopentadienyl LnII sites (Ln=Yb and Sm) of general formula [(≡SiO)LnCp*]. These well‐defined surface species...
The insertion of an olefin into a preformed metal–carbon bond is a common mechanism for transition‐metal‐catalyzed olefin polymerization. However, in one important industrial catalyst, the Phillips catalyst, a metal–carbon bond is not present in the precatalyst. The Phillips catalyst, CrO3 dispersed on silica, polymerizes ethylene without an activator. Despite 60 years of intensive research, the active...
