6-diisopropylaniline-based bis-imine ligands (4, 9) with M(CH2Ph)4 (M = Hf, Zr) led to formation of novel imino−amido tribenzyl complexes via migratory insertion of a benzyl group into a CN bond. Imino−amido complexes were found to undergo unprecedented dibenzyl elimination to form ene−diamido complexes. Imino−amido complexes were found to be active ethylene polymerizationcatalysts.
