| dc.description.abstract | Polyolefins are eco-friendly materials that efficiently resist chemical/thermal influences and are nontoxic. They have been around for more than a century in all sorts of manufacturing materials such as fibers for clothing, food/electronic packaging, and industrial products. Polyolefins are liable for the 57% portion of plastic waste that is generated per year. There are many places polyolefins end up, but only 9% of the plastics are recycled. Although heterogeneous catalysts are the current standard for hydrogenolysis of polyolefins, homogeneous catalysts are unexplored in this area and have great potential because they can be easily tailor to improve activity and selectivity. The triisopropyl [NNN] pincer ligand with methylene linkers have been synthesized in the O’Connor lab, which needs to be made into palladium and ruthenium catalysts to examine hydrogenolysis. | en_US |
