M. Nakano et al., Stereo- and regiospecific polymerization of cyclic conjugated dienes usinghighly active nickel catalysts, CHEM COMMUN, (22), 2000, pp. 2207-2208
A markedly active and selective nickel catalyst, bis(allylnickel bromide)-m
ethylaluminoxane, has been developed for cyclohexa-1,3-diene polymerization
; the obtained crystalline polymer is a 1,4-linked cis-syndiotactic structu
re as determined by NMR and molecular dynamics using the COMPASS force fiel
