Abstract
Amphiphilic Group VIII metathesis catalysts, as can be used in a range of polymerization reactions and other chemical methodologies.
Claims24
A Group VIII transition metal compound of a formula
- wherein M is a metal selected from a Group VIII transition metal;
- X1 and X2 are independently selected from anionic ligand components;
- L1-L3 are independently selected from neutral electron donor ligand components, providing one of said L1-L3 components is an N-heterocyclic carbene component and the other said L1-L3 components are independently selected from amphiphilic substituted pyridinyl ligand components, said amphiphilic substituent comprising at least one of an alkoxy moiety and an alkoxycarbonyl moiety;
- and R1—R2 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, cyclic alkyl, substituted cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, cyclic alkenyl, substituted cyclic alkenyl, phenyl and substituted phenyl moieties.
