Abstract

The present invention generally relates to a process that selectively polymerizes ethylene in the presence of an alpha-olefin, and to a metal-ligand complex (precatalyst) and catalyst useful in such processes, and to related compositions. The present invention also generally relates to ligands and intermediates useful for preparing the metal-ligand complex and to processes of their preparation.
