The previously unknown methallylnickel 2‐diorganophosphanylphenolates (RPh, c Hex) were synthesized and found to catalyze the polymerization of ethylene. To explore the potential for ligand‐tuning, a variety of P‐alkyl‐ and P‐phenyl‐2‐phosphanylphenols was synthesized and allowed to react with [Ni(cod) 2 ] (cod=1,5‐cyclooctadiene) or with NiBr 2 ⋅DME and NaH. The complexes formed in situ with [Ni(cod) 2 ] are generally active as ethylene polymerization catalysts with all the ligands tested, whereas the latter systems are inactive when 2‐dialkylphosphanylphenols are applied. M w values, ranging from about 1000 to about 100 000 g mol −1 , increase for various R 2 P groups in the order RPh
