“…The vanadium complexes of bis(benzimidazole)amine tridentate ligands [N, N, N], were reported as active ethylene polymerization catalysts after activation with simple alkylaluminum compounds 31 2,6-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine zirconium dichloride / MAO polymerizes methylacrylate 32 Recently, [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] we reported the ethylene polymerization activity of benzimidazole, benzothiazole, benzoxazole and 2-(benzimidazolyl) pyridine titanium zirconium and vanadium complexes. Herein we report on the effect of hetero atom on the activity of zirconium, complexes of bis (benzimidazole), benzothiazole, and benzoxazole), and their behaviour towards ethylene polymerization after activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO).…”
