To increase the structural diversity of dinucleating platforms that are used in the construction of olefin polymerization catalysts, we are exploring new ligand designs that feature non-alkoxide/phenoxide bridging groups. In the current study, we demonstrate that 1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamidate donors are excellent N,N-chelators for nickel and can readily bind secondary metal ions. We found that sterically bulky nickel triazolecarboxamidate complexes are active as ethylene homopolymerization catalysts and can afford low molecular weight polyethylene with about 80–130 branches per 1000 carbon atoms. The addition of zinc salts to our nickel complexes led to catalyst inhibition in some cases, which we have attributed to the formation of catalytically inactive mixed-metal species. To circumvent this problem, we anticipate that further elaboration of the triazolecarboxamidate ligand could provide discrete heterobimetallic complexes that will be useful as single-site catalysts with unique reactivity patterns.
