Includes bibliographical references. Ethylene oligomerization reactions catalysed by cyclometallated palladium(II) N-benzylidenebenzylamine complexes were studied theoretically. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are reported on the interaction of various MAO models with the methylated pre-catalyst. The neutral MAO dissociation process is shown to remain the major interaction that takes place in the Pd/MAO interactions. On the other hand, the formal methyl abstraction process could be also feasible if more energy is provided. Therefore, the relative energies were calculated for intermediates and transition states for both Cossee-type and metallacycle mechanisms. 2015-01-01T13:08:57Z 2015-01-01T13:08:57Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10908 eng application/pdf Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
