This compilation provides advanced graduate students and researchers with a structured overview
of olefin polymerization. Divided into eight chapters written by international experts this
book covers polymerization using various organotransition-metal catalysts including early and
late transition metal complexes new trends in olefin oligomerization and related reactions.
All authors address the historic and scientific backgrounds of the field as well as current
research progress and potential for further research. The complete book is designed to present
eight independent lectures and because all authors are well versed in organometallic chemistry
each is based on a profound understanding of the reactions and structures of organotransition
metal complexes. This book is an ideal accompaniment for researchers taking courses in olefin
polymerization and also serves as a valuable resource for teachers and lecturers of chemistry
when planning and researching material for advanced lecture courses.
