In this study, we synthesized and characterized two nickel complexes featuring conformationally rigid bisphosphine mono-oxide ligands, where one has ano-methoxyphenyl (Ni2) and the other has ano-(2-methoxyethoxy)phenyl (Ni3) substituent on the P═O moiety. We performed metal binding studies usingNi3and found that its reaction with Li+and Na+most likely produced 1:1 and 1:1/2:1 nickel:alkali species in solution, respectively. The nickel complexes were competent catalysts for ethylene homopolymerization and copolymerization, with activities up to 3.8 × 103and 8.1 × 10 kg mol–1h–1, respectively. In reactions of ethylene with methyl acrylate (1.0 M), the addition of Li+toNi3led to a 5.4-fold enhancement in catalyst activity and a 1.9-fold increase in polar monomer incorporation in comparison to those byNi3alone under optimized conditions. A comparison with other nickel catalysts reported for ethylene and methyl acrylate copolymerization revealed that our nickel–alkali catalysts are competitive with some of the most efficient Ni-based systems developed thus far.
