The stabilizing donor ligand plays a crucial role in the catalyst behaviour 34 and the use of<br />
more weakly bound ligands, such as pyridine, or of a catalyst promoter in excess, such as<br />
[Ni(COD)2] or [Rh(acac)(C2H4)2], which can scavenge the donor ligand, turns these nickel<br />
complexes from oligomerization into polymerization catalysts. 35 In the absence of a coligand,<br />
a dinuclear complex 4 forms as a result of the stabilization by coordination of the oxygen<br />
atom to another metal centre. 35,36<br />

Neutral phosphino-phenolate nickel complexes are known to form ethylene<br />
oligomerization and polymerization catalysts (Scheme 1). 43-48 Heinicke, Keim et al. have<br />
observed that an increase of the basicity of the phosphorus donor atom improves the catalytic<br />
activity, modifies the mass distribution of the products and favors the formation of long chain<br />
polyethylenes. 44-47<br />

Scheme 1 Phosphino-phenolate nickel catalysts<br />
Cationic nickel complexes derived from this ligand family have also been studied<br />
(Scheme 2) and it was found that the effect of an increased P-basicity on the molecular weight<br />
of the oligomers was much lower than in the case of the neutral, phosphino-phenolate<br />
systems. 49 Furthermore, cationic Ni(II) or Pd(II) complexes 5 with phenacyldi-tert-<br />
buytlphosphine or phenacyldiarylphosphine ligands catalyze ethylene polymerization and<br />
