A series of Ni(II) and Pd(II) complexes bearing N4-type tetradentate ligands, [Ni(-6-) 1] and [Pd(-6-) 2]; 6- = N,N'-(o-phenylene)bis(6-methylpyridine-2-carboxamidate), = Cl, H, or , = , Cl, F, H, , or ) were designed, synthesized, and characterized to investigate electronic and steric effects of ligand on the norbornene polymerization catalysts. Using modified methylaluminoxanes as an activator, the complexes exhibited high catalytic activities for the polymerization of norbornene and the nickel complexes exhibited better catalytic activity the palladium complexes. Ni complex 1a with group on the benzene ring showed the highest catalytic activity of g of PNBEs/ and molecular weight of g/mol with PDI 100 ), and tend to afford higher polymerization productivities than the ones having electron-donating groups. Amorphous polynorbornenes were obtained with good solubility in halogenated aromatic solvents. A vinyl addition mechanism has been proposed for the catalytic polymerization.
