Mechanistic Studies for Palladium Catalyzed Copolymerization of Ethylene with Vinyl Ethers

The mechanism of ethylene with vinyl ether (VE, CH<sub>2</sub>=CHOEt) copolymerization catalyzed by phosphine-sulfonate palladium complex (<b>A</b>) was investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. On achieving an agreement between theory and experiment, it is...
