The activation of bis(imino)pyridine cobalt(II) precatalysts by MAO leads initially to a bis(imino)pyridine cobalt(I) cationic species with no cobalt-C(alkyl) bond into which insertion can occur. Mechanistic studies have shown that the initiation of polym

Bis(imino)pyridine cobalt(I) alkyl complexes react with 1-alkenes by β-hydrogen transfer, providing a model reaction for the study of a commonly encountered chain transfer process in polymerization and oligomerization catalysis. The influence of steric effects on reaction rates is described. The theoretical models largely agree with the experimentally determined structures, provide a more detailed view of the species involved, and are consistent with the observed reactivities. Both experiment and theory support a stepwise pathway involving a cobalt-hydride intermediate.
