The synthesis of polar functionalized cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) from the coordination copolymerization of norbornene (NB) and polar monomers catalyzed by late transition metal catalysts has been a recent research hotspot. However, few catalysts have achieved efficient copolymerization with commercial vinyl-type polar monomers, such as methyl acrylate (MA). In this contribution, nickel complexes bearing 2-(diarylphosphino)-N-phenylbenzenamine ligands were synthesized and applied as pre-catalysts to catalyze the (co)polymerization of norbornene. Upon the activation of methylaluminoxane (MAO), these nickel catalysts were active for norbornene polymerization with the highest activity achieved being 3.6 × 106 g mol−1 h−1 and the highest number average molecular weight (Mn) of polynorbornene (PNB) reaching 27.4 × 105 g mol−1. Moreover, these nickel catalysts also promoted the copolymerization of norbornene and MA to furnish high-molecular-weight NB/MA copolymers (Mn up to 6.20 × 104 g mol−1) with reasonable MA contents (3.07−5.90 mol%). The molecular weight of PNB and NB/MA copolymers obtained by the present nickel catalysts are remarkably higher than those of the (co)polymers from our previous reported dimethyl substituted phosphinobenzenamine nickel catalyst, suggesting significant progress in this field.
