This paper chronicles our work examining early-transition-metal systems incorporating phosphinimide ligands for use as olefin polymerization catalysts. Incorporation of these ancillary ligands affords unique deactivation pathways which are readily overcome by specific activation procedures and contrived ligand modification. In these ways, a new family of highly active olefin polymerization catalysts was successfully developed.
