Bis(heterocyclic-olate) Lewis Base Catalysts and Methods Thereof

A catalyst compound represented by Formula (I):

• wherein:
• M is a group 3, 4, or 5 metal;
• each A1 and A2 is independently an aromatic, a substituted aromatic, or alkenediyl group;
• heterocyclic ring fragments —(Z1Z2)— and —(Z3Z4)— are independently selected from —(Z5Z6)— or —(Z6Z5)—, with Z5 being selected from oxygen, sulfur, S(O), S(O)2, and N(R50) and Z6 being selected from nitrogen and C(R51), wherein each R50 and R51 is independently hydrogen, C1-C40 hydrocarbyl, C1-C40 substituted hydrocarbyl, a monovalent heteroatom, or a heteroatom-bonded monovalent group;
• each of R4 and R5 is independently hydrogen, C1-C40 hydrocarbyl, C1-C40 substituted hydrocarbyl, a monovalent heteroatom, or a heteroatom-bonded monovalent group;
• J is a heterocyclic Lewis base;
• each Q1 and Q2 are independently selected from oxygen, sulfur, N(R30), or P(R30) wherein R30 is C1-C40 hydrocarbyl, substituted C1-C40 hydrocarbyl, a monovalent heteroatom, or a heteroatom-bonded monovalent group;
• L is a Lewis base, optionally any two L groups join together to form a bidentate Lewis base;
• X is an anionic ligand, optionally an X group is joined to an L group to form a monoanionic bidentate group, or optionally, any two X groups are joined together to form a dianionic ligand;
• n is 1, 2 or 3;
• m is 0, 1, or 2;
• and
• n+m is not greater than 4.
