The combined effect of an electron withdrawing fluoride and a sterically bulk benzhydryl group at the
ortho

the resulting polyethylenes were highly linear (

narrowly disperse and of low molecular weight (

forming the highest molecular weight polymer of the series. End-group analysis by

C-NMR spectroscopy revealed saturated alkyl (

-propyl and
i
-propyl) and unsaturated vinyl chain ends indicative of the role of both
β
-H elimination and chain transfer to aluminum as termination pathways. By comparison with previously reported iron precatalysts with similar tridentate ligand skeletons
it is evident that the introduction of a large benzhydryl group in combination with a fluorine as the
ortho
-substituents of one
N
-aryl group has the effect of enhancing thermal stability of the iron polymerization catalyst whilst maintaining appreciable polymer molecular weight.
