Use of palladium catalysts in olefin polymerization and copolymerization has evolved rapidly. In contrast, earth-abundant and low-cost nickel catalysts generally suffer from drawbacks that include low thermal stability and generation of low-molecular-weight polymers in the presence of polar monomers. By taking advantage of several design strategies, high-performance phosphine-sulfonate-based nickel catalysts were developed. These nickel catalysts demonstrated high activities and thermal stabilities to afford high-molecular-weight polyethylene. Most importantly, high-molecular-weight copolymers could be generated through the copolymerization of ethylene with a variety of polar monomers.

Utilization of palladium catalysts bearing a P-chiral phosphine-sulfonate ligand enabled asymmetric copolymerization of vinyl acetate with carbon monoxide. The obtained γ-polyketones have head-to-tail and isotactic polymer structures. The origin of the regio- and stereoregularities was elucidated by stoichiometric reactions of acylpalladium complexes with vinyl acetate. The present report for the first time demonstrates successful asymmetric coordination-insertion (co)polymerization of vinyl acetate.
