The nickel precursor [bis( N , N ′‐dimesitylimino)acenaphthene]dibromonickel and methylaluminoxane were used to catalyse the functionalisation of 1‐hexene with acrylamide by passivation of acrylamide with tri‐isobutylaluminium. The polymer obtained was characterised by GPC/SEC and NMR. The NMR experiments performed, COSY, DEPT, long‐range selective INEPT, HSQC and TOCSY 1D, showed that a 2,1 insertion of a single molecule of acrylamide per macromolecule had occurred at the end of the polyhexene chain.
