Abstract
We report herein a method of substrate-controlled pentafluorosulfanylation of activated alkenes containing the benzimidazole moiety with SF5Cl, which provides a highly efficient way to access SF5-containing benzo[4,5]imidazole[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones, as well as SF5-containing N-benzoyl benzimidazoles. Besides the pentafluorosulfanyl group (-SF5), the current method can be applied to the tetrafluorosulfanyl group (-SF4-) incorporation. A radical mechanism involving single electron transfer (SET) or the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) process is proposed.

Abstract
Polyolefins are extensively used in modern society, with hydrocarbon organic compounds traditionally serving as solvents for their preparation. Water, as a reaction medium, offers significant advantages, including non-flammability, non-toxicity, high specific heat capacity, and strong polarity. A promising avenue of research involves replacing organic media with water in polymerization reactions, which could yield considerable economic benefits. Among the various transition metal catalysts used to synthesize polyolefins, late-transition metal catalysts, such as Ni(II) and Pd(II) catalysts, demonstrate enhanced tolerance to polar groups, making them particularly suitable for aqueous polymerization of olefins. This review focuses on the Ni(II) and Pd(II) catalysts utilized for the aqueous catalytic polymerization of olefins, as well as various types of polyolefins fabricated. Key aspects encompass designs of catalysts, polymerization systems, monomers, and material microstructures. The preparation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) nanocrystals and the modulation of polymer morphology are highlighted. The possible development trend of aqueous catalytic polymerization is envisioned to achieve the development concept of environmental protection and the needs of industrial production.

Abstract
Expanding the application field of polyolefin materials through functionalization has been a research hotspot in the past three decades. Here, a TiO2-supported anilinenaphthoquinone nickel catalyst was assembled and applied for in situ ethylene polymerization with high activity (>2000 kg mol-1h-1) to produce ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/TiO2 composites with unique physicochemical performance. The UHMWPE/TiO2 composite films and fibers prepared by in-situ ethylene polymerization are superior to the samples from the blend system in issues such as TiO2 dispersibility, mechanical property, and photocatalytic degradability. The mechanical properties (strength up to 26.8 cN/dtex, modulus up to 1248.8 cN/dtex) of the obtained UHMWPE/TiO2 composite fibers are significantly improved with a very low dosage of TiO2 (as low as 1.4 wt‰). Moreover, UHMWPE/TiO2 composites obtained by coating Al2O3 and SiO2 on the surface of TiO2 not only retain the strong absorption of ultraviolet rays, but also effectively weaken the photocatalytic degradation effect.

Abstract
Disentangled ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (d-UHMWPE) solves the problem of the difficult processing of traditional UHMWPE caused by entanglements between molecular chains. In this review, we look into the innovative realm of nascent disentangled UHMWPE, concentrating on the recent advances achieved through the in situ polymerization of ethylene by single-site catalysts. The effect of single-site catalysts and polymerization conditions on the molecular characteristics is discussed in detail from the perspective of mechanism and DFT calculations. The key factors to low entanglement are revealed, which have instructive implications for the development of new single-site catalytic systems that can generate d-UHMWPE more efficiently and become closer to industrial production. The progress in the preparation for nascent d-UHMWPE with homogeneous and heterogeneous single-site catalysts is systematically reviewed. Rheology and DSC can be used to characterize the degree of entanglement. High-modulus and high-strength biaxial films, tapes, and fibers are obtained by the solid-state processing of these nascent d-UHMWPE.

Abstract
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylenes (UHMWPEs) are significant engineering plastics for their unique properties, such as high impact resistance, abrasion resistance, weatherability, lubricity, and chemical resistance. Consequently, developing a suitable catalyst is vital in facilitating the preparation of UHMWPE. The late transition metal catalysts have emerged as effective catalysts in producing UHMWPE due to their availability, enhanced tolerance to heteroatom groups, active polymerization characteristics, and good copolymerization ability with polar monomers. In this review, we mainly focus on the late transition metal catalysts, summarizing advancements in their application over the past decade. Four key metals (Ni, Pd, Fe, Co) for generating linear or branched UHMWPE will be primarily explored in this manuscript.

Abstract
Ligand steric hindrance and electronic effects play a crucial role in late-transition metal-catalyzed olefin polymerization. In this research, a series of o-aryl halogenated α-diimine ligands bearing bulky dibenzhydryl substituents, along with their corresponding nickel catalysts, have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. The nickel catalysts demonstrated very high activity in ethylene polymerization, achieving a high rate of up to 107 g mol-1 h-1. The produced polyethylenes displayed a broad spectrum of molecular weights (12.2-871.7 kg mol-1) but maintained consistent branching densities (50-82/1000 C) when polymerized at a fixed temperature with different nickel catalysts. Notably, the polymerization temperature has a significant influence on both the molecular weight and branching density of the resulting polyethylene. Higher temperatures led to the formation of polyethylenes with lower molecular weights and increased branching densities. Interestingly, the o-aryl halogens significantly impact the molecular weight of the polyethylene. The size of the halogen substituents primarily determines the molecular weight of the polyethylene. However, in terms of branching density, the steric and electronic effects of these substituents appear to counteract each other. In addition, the branched high molecular weight polyethylenes from the bromine and chlorine substituted nickel catalysts are excellent polyethylene thermoplastic elastomers with high strain at break values (688-2478%) and high strain recovery values (42-62%).

Abstract
Hydrocarbons, when used as the medium for transition metal catalyzed organic reactions and olefin (co-)polymerization, are ubiquitous. Environmentally friendly water is highly attractive and long-sought, but is greatly challenging as coordination-insertion copolymerization reaction medium of olefin and polar monomers. Unfavorable interactions from both water and polar monomer usually lead to either catalyst deactivation or the formation of low-molecular-weight polymers. Herein, we develop well-behaved neutral phosphinophenolato nickel catalysts, which enable aqueous copolymerization of ethylene and diverse polar monomers to produce significantly high-molecular-weight linear polar polyolefins (219-549 kDa, 0.13-1.29 mol %) in a single-component fashion under mild conditions for the first time. These copolymerization reactions occur better in water than in hydrocarbons such as toluene. The dual characteristics of high molecular weight and the incorporation of a small amount of functional group result in improved surface properties while retain the desirable intrinsic properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Abstract
The synthesis of vinyl fluorides plays a crucial role in various scientific disciplines, including pharmaceutical and materials sciences. Herein, we present a direct and stereoselective hydrofluorination method for the synthesis of Z isomers of vinyl fluorides from alkynes containing unexplored SF5 and SF4 groups. Our strategy employed tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) as a fluorine source. It demonstrates high compatibility with aryls, biaryls, heteroaryls, and tert-alkyl groups, allowing facile incorporation of SF5 and SF4 groups across the triple bond without any transition-metal catalysts. This approach avoids the potential decomposition of the SF5 or SF4 units via coordination with transition metals or acidic protic sources. Remarkably, this transformation proceeded at room temperature without any additional additives, providing the Z isomer of vinyl fluorides in excellent yield and high selectivity. The presence of a water molecule as a hydrate in TBAF is essential for efficient conversion. This methodology opens new avenues for the synthesis of enchanting SF5 - and SF4 -containing fluorinated vinylic scaffolds, thereby providing advanced opportunities for novel drug discovery and fluorinated polymers.

Abstract
Nowadays, a solvent-free method for production of high performance fibers directly from ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reactor powder is being actively developed. It causes the interest in the morphology of the reactor particles and their behavior in thermal and mechanical fields. Changes in the phase composition in virgin particles of ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene reactor powders and in particles of powders compressed at room temperature under different pressures were studied in real time using synchrotron radiation with heating in the range of 300-370 K. It was found that the content of the monoclinic phase in reactor powders depends on the type of catalyst used for synthesis and on the applied pressure. It is shown that there are monoclinic phases of different nature: a structurally stabilized monoclinic phase formed during synthesis, and a monoclinic phase resulting from plastic deformation during compaction at room temperature. The behavior of these phases in temperature and mechanical fields is compared.

Abstract
Disentangled ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (dis-UHMWPE) has excellent processability but can be achieved under extreme conditions. Herein, we report ethylene polymerization with the binuclear half-sandwich scandium complexes C1-Sc2 and C2-Sc2 to afford UHMWPE. C1-Sc2 bearing a short linker shows higher activity and gives higher molecular weight PEs than C2-Sc2 containing a flexible spacer and the mononuclear Sc1 . Strikingly, all UHMWPEs isolated from C1-Sc2 under broad temperature range (25-120 °C) and wide ethylene pressures (2-13 bar) feature very low degree of entanglement as proved by rheological test, DSC annealing study and SEM. These dis-UHMWPEs are facilely mediated solid-state-process at 130 °C and their tensile strength and modulus reach up to 149.2 MPa and 1.5 GPa, respectively. DFT simulations reveal that the formation of dis-UHMWPE is attributed to the binuclear synergic effect and the agostic interaction between the active center and the growing chain.

Abstract
Fabrication of pure ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)‐based artificial joint implants is a bottleneck problem as it is only limited to quasistatic approaches that have low efficiency due to the high density of fusion defects. The main objective of this work is to improve the moldability of UHMWPE using the injection molding technique while maintaining its superior mechanical integrity. Groups of UHMWPE samples are injected at barrel melting temperatures of 300, 320, 340, and 360 °C, at various injecting pressures. The high‐temperature melting (HTM) allows the fabrication of robust UHMWPE samples using injection molding with an improved yield stress of 29.63 ± 3.19, compared to 23.0 ± 0.6 and 17.8 ± 0.75 achieved by HTM compression molding and conventional compression molding, respectively. Moreover, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results suggest an almost complete elimination of all fusion defects, and that is supported by the outstanding tensile strain at breaks reaching up to approximately 1300%. The thermochemical properties of the injection‐molded UHMWPE samples are tested as well to investigate the impact of HTM on their characteristics. Moreover, the materials’ biocompatibility and wear are assessed. This study sets up a new approach to fabricate high‐performance injection‐molded UHMWPE joint implants by HTM.

Abstract
A general method for ortho-functionalization of pentafluorosulfanyl arenes has been developed. ortho-Lithiation with lithium tetramethylpiperidide at -60 °C in the presence of silicon, germanium, and tin electrophiles affords trapped products in moderate to high yields. Precise temperature regimes and the presence of electrophiles during lithiation are important for successful reactions, since the pentafluorosulfanyl group acts as a competent leaving group at temperatures above -40 °C. Fluoro, bromo, iodo, enolizable keto, cyano, ester, amide, and unsubstituted amino functionalities are compatible with the reaction conditions. Conversion of 2-dimethylsilylpentafluorosulfanyl benzene to 2-halosubstituted derivatives, useful as starting materials in cross-coupling chemistry, was also demonstrated.

Abstract
Polyfluorinated, electron-withdrawing, and sterically demanding supporting ligands are of significant value in chemistry. Here we report the assembly and use of a bis(pyrazolyl)borate, [Ph2B(3-(SF5)Pz)2]- that combines all such features, and involves underutilized pentafluorosulfanyl substituents. The ethylene and carbonyl chemistry of copper(i) supported by [Ph2B(3-(SF5)Pz)2]-, a comparison to the trifluoromethylated counterparts involving [Ph2B(3-(CF3)Pz)2]-, as well as copper catalyzed cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate and CF3CHN2 are presented. The results from cyclopropanation show that SF5 groups dramatically improved the yields and stereoselectivity compared to the CF3.

Abstract
Fluorine substituents in transition metal catalysts are of great importance in olefin polymerization catalysis; however, the comprehensive effect of fluorine substituents is elusive in seminal late transition metal α-diimine catalytic system. In this contribution, fluorine substituents at various positions (ortho-, meta-, and para-F) and with different numbers (Fn ; n=0, 1, 2, 3, 5) were installed into the well-defined N-terphenyl amine and thus were studied for the first time in the nickel α-diimine promoted ethylene polymerization and copolymerization with polar monomers. The position of the fluorine substituent was particularly crucial in these polymerization reactions in terms of catalytic activity, polymer molecular weight, branching density, and incorporation of polar monomer, and thus a picture on the fluorine effect was given. As a notable result, the ortho-F substituted α-diimine nickel catalyst produced highly linear polyethylenes with an extremely high molecular weight (Mw =8703 kDa) and a significantly low degree of branching of 1.4/1000 C; however, the meta-F and/or para-F substituted α-diimine nickel catalysts generated highly branched (up to 80.2/1000 C) polyethylenes with significantly low molecular weights (Mw =20-50 kDa).

Abstract
A series of phosphinecarbonylpalladium and -nickel catalysts bearing various substituents on the ligand backbone were prepared, characterized, and used in ethylene polymerization and copolymerization with polar monomers. The Pd and Ni catalysts can achieve high activities as well as high polymer molecular weights in both ethylene polymerization and copolymerization with polar monomers. The electron-donating group from the carbonyl side can effectively increase the polymer molecular weights. Utilization of a cyclic backbone structure can increase the catalytic activities at the expense of the polymer molecular weights. Moreover, installation of a pyridyl moiety in the ligand backbone can enable Lewis acid responsiveness and can enhance the polymerization activities. These results suggest the importance of the ligand backbone for the properties of catalysts in ethylene polymerization and copolymerization reactions.

Abstract
With the goal of accessing yet unknown SF5-cyclopropyl building blocks, the radical addition of SF5Cl to cyclopropenes was investigated. Addition of the SF5 radical occurs regioselectively at the less substituted carbon of cyclopropenes and trans to the most hindered substituent at C3, while chlorine atom transfer proceeds with moderate to high levels of diastereocontrol. The carbon-chlorine bond in the resulting adducts can undergo subsequent radical reduction or be involved in a radical cyclization.

Abstract
Pentafluorosulfanyl chloride (SF5 Cl) is the most prevalent reagent for the incorporation of SF5 group into organic compounds. However, the preparation of SF5 Cl often relies on hazardous reagents and specialized apparatus. Herein, we described a safe and practical synthesis of a bench-stable and easy-to-handle solution of SF5 Cl in n-hexane under gas-reagent-free conditions. The synthetic application of SF5 Cl was demonstrated through the unprecedented reaction with diazo compounds. The chemoselective hydro- and chloropentafluorosulfanylations of α-diazo carbonyl compounds were developed in the presence of K3 PO4 or copper catalyst, respectively. These reactions provide a direct and efficient access to various α-pentafluorosulfanyl carbonyl compounds of high value for potential applications.

Abstract
Increasing the thermostability of α-diimine late-transition-metal complexes and therefore rendering them more active at higher temperatures is of great importance, yet challenging for the olefin polymerization field. In the present research, a new family of α-diimine palladium complexes that can promote norbornene polymerization at high temperatures (up to 140 °C) is disclosed. Because of the conformational restriction caused by increasing the axial and equatorial bulkiness as well as the presence of intraligand H···F hydrogen bonds, N-aryl rotations can be efficiently restricted, therefore circumventing the deactivation of the active species at high temperatures. At 80-140 °C, these complexes can efficiently catalyze norbornene homopolymerizations, giving high catalytic activities up to 5.65 × 107 g of PNB per mole Ni per hour and polymers with high molecular weights up to 37.2 × 104 g/mol, which are highly superior to catalytic systems mediated by CF3-free complexes. Moreover, these complexes could also afford medium catalytic activities in the presence of polar 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (NB-COOCH3).

Abstract
The reactivity of NiII and PdII olefin polymerization catalysts can be enhanced by introduction of electron-withdrawing substituents on the supporting ligands rendering the metal centers more electrophilic. Reported here is a comparison of ethylene polymerization activity of a classical salicyliminato nickel catalyst substituted with the powerful electron-withdrawing 2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium (trippy) group to the -CF3 analogue. The trippy substituent is substantially more electron-withdrawing (σmeta =0.63) than the trifluoromethyl group (σmeta =0.43) which results in a ca. 8-fold increase in catalytic turnover frequency. An additional advantage of trippy is the high steric bulk relative to the trifluoromethyl group. This feature results in a four-fold increase in polymer molecular weight owing to enhanced retardation of chain transfer. A significant increase in catalyst lifetime is observed as well.

Abstract
Plastics materials are a vital component of modern technologies. They are applied, e.g., in construction, transportation, communication, water supply, or health care. Consequently, polyolefins-the most important plastics by scale-are produced in vast amounts by catalytic polymerization. Effective and selective as the catalysts used may be, their high sensitivity toward any polar compounds limits these methods to hydrocarbon reaction media and monomers like ethylene and propylene, respectively. This can be overcome by less oxophilic late transition metal catalysts, and here particularly neutral nickel(II) catalysts have seen major advances in the past few years. They stand out due to being capable of aqueous catalytic polymerizations. Aqueous polymerizations are benign processes that advantageously yield polymers in the form of particles. Moreover, these catalysts can incorporate polar monomers like acrylates, a realm previously restricted to noble metal catalysts. The introduction of polar moieties can induce properties like compatibility with metals or fibers in high performance composite materials or a desirable degradability.This Account provides a personal account of developments in the past decade. Prior findings are outlined briefly as a background. Aqueous polymerizations afford unique polyethylene morphologies as a result of the unusual underlying particle growth mechanism. Polymer single crystals are formed, which can be composed of a single ultrahigh molecular weight chain. This represents a completely disentangled state of such extremely long polymer chains, which has been long sought-after in order to overcome the difficult processing of high performance ultrahigh molecular weight materials. A key prerequisite for this approach and utilization of these catalysts, in general, is control of polymer branching and molecular weight. This is achieved via remote substituents on the Ni(II)-chelating ligand. Despite their distal position to the active site, weak secondary interactions control whether branching and chain transfer pathways compete very effectively with chain growth or are suppressed entirely. This provides access to hyperbranched oligomers, on the one hand, and enables living polymerizations to strictly linear high molecular weight polymer, on the other hand. Other advanced catalysts provide linear copolymers with in-chain polar monomer repeat units for the first time with non-noble metal active sites. Mechanistic studies further revealed that for copolymerizations with polar vinyl monomers the decisive limiting factor is irreversible termination reactions with neutral Ni(II) catalysts, rather than the well-recognized reversible blocking of coordination sites by the polar functional groups found for other types of catalysts. The mechanistic picture also implies the possibility of free-radical pathways, and their role in the formation of desirable polymer end groups and polymer blends is now being recognized. The area of neutral Ni(II) catalysts has progressed significantly in the entire range from fundamental mechanistic understanding, catalyst performance, and previously inaccessible polymer microstructures, and it is moving forward to materials through unique concepts. The unprecedented ability to incorporate functional groups into linear crystalline polyethylene also provides perspectives for much needed polyolefin materials that will not persist in the natural environment for several decades but that can be degraded by virtue of low levels of functional groups.

Abstract
The polyolefin industry is dominated by gas-phase and slurry-phase polymerization using heterogeneous catalysts. In contrast, academic research is focused on homogeneous systems, especially for late-transition-metal catalysts. The heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts is a general strategy to provide catalyst solutions for existing industrial polyolefin synthesis. Herein, we report an alternative, potentially general strategy for using homogeneous late-transition-metal catalysts in gas-phase and slurry-phase polymerization. In this self-supporting strategy, catalysts with moderate chain-walking capabilities produced porous polymer supports during gas-phase ethylene polymerization. Chain walking, in which the metal center can move up and down the polymer chain during polymerization, ensures that the metal center can travel along the polymer chain to find suitable sites for ethylene enchainment. This strategy enables simple heterogenization of catalysts on solid supports for slurry-phase polymerization. Most importantly, various branched ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylenes can be prepared under various polymerization conditions with proper catalyst selection.

Abstract
In various nickel(II) salicylaldiminato ethylene polymerization catalysts, which are a versatile mechanistic probe for substituent effects, longer perfluoroalkyl groups exert a strong effect on catalytic activities and polymer microstructures compared to the trifluoromethyl group. This effect is accounted for by a reduced electron density on the active sites, and is also supported by electrochemical studies. Thus, β‐hydride elimination, the key step of chain transfer and branching pathways, is disfavored while chain‐growth rates are enhanced. This enhancement occurs to an extent that enables living polymerizations in aqueous systems to afford ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene for various chelating salicylaldimine motifs. These findings are mechanistically instructive as well as practically useful for illustrating the potential of perfluoroalkyl groups in catalyst design.

Abstract
The development of high-performance transition metal catalysts has long been a major driving force in academic and industrial polyolefin research. Late transition metal-based olefin polymerization catalysts possess many unique properties, such as the ability to generate variously branched polyolefins using only ethylene as the feedstock and the capability of incorporating polar functionalized comonomers without protecting agents. Here we report the synthesis and (co)polymerization studies of a simple but extremely versatile α-imino-ketone nickel system. This type of catalyst is easy to synthesize and modify, and it is thermally stable and highly active during ethylene polymerization without the addition of any cocatalysts. Despite the sterically open nature, these catalysts can generate branched Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight polyethylene and copolymerize ethylene with a series of polar comonomers. The versatility of this platform has been further demonstrated through the synthesis of a dinuclear nickel catalyst and the installation of an anchor for catalyst heterogenization.
