Unsaturated and Benzannulated <i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Titanium and Hafnium: Impact on Catalysts Structure and Performance in Copolymerization of Cyclohexene Oxide with CO<sub>2</sub>

Tridentate, bis-phenolate <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are among the ligands giving the most selective and active group 4-based catalysts for the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) with CO<sub>2</sub>. In particular, ligands based on imidazolidin-2-ylidene (...
