Post-metallocene catalysts for olefin polymerisation

The main types of post-metallocene catalysts for olefin polymerisation based on bis(imino), bis(imino)pyridyl, bis(phenoxyimino), bis(pyrrolylimino) and other complexes of transition metals developed in the last 10–15 years and having prospects for practical use are considered. Modern views on the mechanism of action of these catalysts are discussed.
