Recent mechanistic studies of copolymerizations of ethylene and polar vinyl monomers, particularly vinyl trialkoxysilanes, using well-defined Pd(II) and Ni(II) catalysts will be reported.  Kinetics of chain growth, catalyst resting states and mechanisms of chain transfer will be described along with the resulting structures of the copolymers formed.<br/>
