Solid-Phase Synthesis and Encoding Strategies for Olefin Polymerization Catalyst Libraries

Abstract

Active polymerization catalysts, novel resin-bound diimine complexes of nickel(II) and palladium(II) are obtained by combinatorial synthesis and combined in a catalyst library. By tagging with fluorescent markers, the catalysts can be coded. Therefore, after cleavage of the tag from the polymer-coated resin, HPLC can be used to determine the pathway along which the products were formed.
