Abstract
Samarium chloride and borohydride complexes of the diamide-diamine ligands (2-C5H4N)CH2N(CH2CH2NR)2 (R = SiMe3 or mesityl) are described; the borohydride compounds are the first polydentate amide-supported single component lanthanide catalysts for the controlled polymerisation of polar monomers, and also represent the first lanthanide borohydride complex for the polymerisation of methyl methacrylate.Keywords
