Bimodal polyethylene is generated from a single immobilized catalyst on support under set of reaction conditions without introducing chain transfer agents. Using rac-ethylenebis(1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride [(EBI)ZrCl2] nickel-containing layered double hydroxide (LDH) produces two distinct molecular weight distributions. The ratio these fractions can be tuned by varying the LDH as well changi...

A series of binuclear nickel/palladium catalysts C4-C7 with conjugated α-diimine ligands were designed, prepared and fully characterized. The binuclear nickel complexes C6 and C7 were activated by modified methylalumoxanes (MMAO) to generate highly active ethylene polymerization catalysts with activities up to 1050 kg [mol (Ni) h](-1). The activity of C7 is twice that of the mononuclear analogu...

Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...
