Abstract
[((BuN)-N-t)(2)Cr(CH2Ph)(2)] 1 and [(NCMe2CH2CH2CMe2N)Cr-(CH2Ph)(2)] 2 are robust single-component catalysts for the polymerisation of acrylonitrile, which afford high-molecular-weight PAN and also allow acrylonitrile-methyl methacrylate copolymerisation; owing to its strained seven-membered chelate ring, 2 exhibits exceptionally small imido bond angles.
