Manipulation of air and/or moisture-sensitive compounds was done under a high-purity N2 atmosphere using standard Schlenk techniques. Toluene was routinely purified and distilled over Na before use. 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME)–NiBr2 complex was synthesized by the reaction of DME with anhydrous NiBr2. Methylaluminoxane (MAO, 1.46 m solution in toluene) and modified Methylaluminoxane (MMAO, 1.93 m in n-heptane) were purchased from AkzoNobel. Trimethylaluminium (TMA, 1.00 m in toluene) was purchased from Aldrich. Me2AlCl (1.00 m in toluene) and other reagents were purchased from Acros Chemicals or local suppliers. Elemental analysis was completed by using a Flash EA 1112 microanalyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). FTIR spectra were determined by a System 2000 FTIR spectrometer (PerkinElmer, Waltham, USA). Gas chromatography (GC) analysis was performed with a CP-3800 gas chromatograph (Varian, Palo Alto, USA) equipped with a flame ionization detector and a 30 m column (0.2 mm internal diameter, 0.25 μm film thickness).

All handling
of air- and humidity-sensitive compounds was conducted by using the
Schlenk technique or in an argon-filled MBRAUN glovebox. Prior to
use, organic solvents, such as toluene, n-hexane,
ether, and tetrahydrofuran, were dried over the fine sodium wires
and then refluxed with sodium/potassium benzophenone under nitrogen.
All polymerization grade ethylene, high-purity nitrogen (99.999%),
and high-purity argon (99.999%) were purchased from Jiangsu Hongren
Special Gas Co., Ltd. (China), and no further purification was carried
out. CH2Cl2 and CDCl3 were degassed
and dried over CaH2. Both methylaluminoxane (MAO, 10% solution
in toluene) and modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO, 7.1% aluminum solution
in toluene) were purchased from Akzo-Nobel company. Anhydrous CrCl3 and Cr(CO)6 were purchased from J & K Chemical
Technology Co. CrCl3(THF)3 was prepared by referring
to the procedures in the literature.31 (link)1H NMR, 13C{1H} NMR, 19F NMR, and 31P{1H} NMR spectra were recorded
on a Bruker 600 MHz spectrometer (Figures S1–S20). Melting points of compounds were measured in a sealed glass tube
of a Büchi-540 instrument. Elemental analysis was tested on
a Thermo Quest Italia SPA EA 1110 instrument.

All manipulations involving air and moisture-sensitive compounds were carried out under an atmosphere of purified nitrogen using standard Schlenk. Toluene was dried over sodium metal and distilled under nitrogen. Methylaluminoxane (MAO, 1.46 M solution in toluene) and modified Methylaluminoxane (MMAO, 1.93 M in heptane) were purchased from Akzo Nobel Corp. (Nanjing, China). Diethylaluminium chloride (Et2AlCl, 1.17 M in hexane) and ethylaluminium sesquichloride (EASC, 0.87 M in hexane), triethylaluminium (Et3Al, 2.00 M in heptane) and other reagents were purchased from Acros Chemicals (Beijing, China). (DME)NiBr2 was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-dimethoxyethane with anhydrous nickel(II) bromide. FT-IR spectra were recorded on a Perkine-Elmer System 2000 FT-IR spectrometer (Shanghai, China). Elemental analysis was carried out using a Flash EA 1112 microanalyzer (Beijing, China). 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DMX 400 MHz instrument (Beijing, China) at ambient temperature using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard. GC analyses were performed with a Varian CP-3800 gas chromatograph (Beijing, China) equipped with a flame ionization detector and a 30 m (0.2 mm i.d., 0.25 mm film thickness) CP-Sil 5 CB column.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
