dc.description.abstract | PyrazoM compounds have been extensively used to prepare metal complexes, but it
is only recently that they have been investigated as catalysts for the polymerization of
unsaturated hydrocarbons. In catalyzn11g the polymerization of ethylene, the
electrophilicity of the metal centre plays an important role since the key step in the
polymerization is coordination of the ethylene. A similar facile coordination would be
expected for acetylene and one would therefore expect pyrazolyl palladium
complexes to be good catalysts for the transformation of acetylenes. This thesis is an
investigation of pyrazolyl palladium complexes as catalysts for the polymerization
and oligomeruation of substituted acetylenes. | en_US |
