Iron bis(imino) aryl catalysts and methods thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure related to iron-containing compounds including a 2,6-diiminoaryl ligand and one or more substituted hydrocarbyl substituents. Catalysts, catalyst systems, and processes of the present disclosure can provide polyolefins with high or low molecular weight, low comonomer content, narrow polydispersity indices, and broad orthogonal composition distribution. The present disclosure provides new and improved iron-containing catalysts with enhanced solubility in hydrophobic (nonpolar) solvents.
