Main result
Here, we employ an α-imino-ketone nickel platform featuring both electronic asymmetry and axial shielding to circumvent this kinetic challenge, enabling the synthesis of high-molecular-weight (up to 476 kg mol–1), branched polyethylene plastics and elastomers featuring well-defined in-chain ketone functionalities.
