Lanthanide alkyl and hydride complexes containing the tris(pyrazolyl) borohydride ligand and their activity as homogeneous polymerization catalysts

This thesis reports on the synthesis, characterization, and chemistry of a new homogeneous catalytic polymerization system incorporating the metal yttrium and the hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp) ligands. These new organoyttrium catalysts have been found to be active for the polymerization of both po...
