Our collaborative work with the Poli and Grabow group about “Benchtop-stable Carbyl Iminopyridyl Ni(II) Complexes for Olefin Polymerization” is published as open access article in ACS Catalysis. The synthetic effort was spearheaded by Hasaan, Yu-Sheng and Arslan. Congrats to all. The work is the outcome of five years of dedicated work and learning along the way. Thanks to the Poli and Grabow group for their excellent support and contribution!!
