Permethylated pentalene catalysts and catalyst Precursors

Applications: Olefin polymerisation, CO activation, CO₂ activation

Oxford scientists have developed a rational, solution-phase route to substituted pentalene ligands and their complexes.

Features	Benefits
Pentalene complexes provide new binding modes.	Facilitates kinetically unfavourable chemical transformations.
Pentalene skeleton provides platform to bind two or more metals in complexes.	Complexes display catalytic properties unavailable in mononuclear systems.
Improved stability, solubility and crystallisability.	Operable over wide temperature ranges, high solution loadings, and increased process activity.
Large scale and high yield synthesis process.	Synthetic route demonstrated.
