A series of 2,6-dibenzhydryl-N-(2-phenyliminoacenaphthylenylidene)-4-methylbenzenamines (L1−L5) and the nickel(II) dibromide complexes thereof (C1−C5) were synthesized and fully characterized. The molecular structures of representative complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and revealed a distorted-pyramidal geometry at nickel. All nickel(II) procatalysts exhibited very high activity for the polymerization of ethylene, with activities as high as the range of 107 g of PE (mol of Ni)−1 h−1.

Nickel(II) dibromide complexes of 2,6-dibenzhydryl-N-(2-phenyliminoacenaphthylenylidene)-4-methylbenzenamines show high activity for ethylene polymerization, with potential applications in fuel cell and
