Group 10 metal alkyl complexes L2MR(L�) containing anionic bidentate donor ligands (L2) and a labile ligand or substrate (L�) are active species for olefin polymerization.  We are investigating the synthesis of neutral Ni(II) and Pd(II) complexes incorporating alkoxy-phosphinimine, phenoxy-phosphinimine and phosphinimine-sulfonate ligands as new catalysts for olefin polymerization. Our results concerning synthesis, characterization, and olefin reactivity studies utilizing these new group 10 metal complexes will be presented and discussed.
