Group 10 metal complexes bearing phosphine-based ligands have been reported to catalyze the copolymerization of ethylene with various polar vinyl monomers.  Here in this presentation, steric effect of substituents on the phosphorus atom will be quantitatively evaluated in relation to the catalytic activity, molecular weight, and incorporation ratio of polar monomers. Palladium complexes of phosphine?sulfonate and bisphosphine monoxide will be mainly discussed.
