Anchoring via covalent binding of a salicylaldimine-nickel complex in multi-walled carbon nanotubes and its application in ethylene oligomerization

Silylated-salicylaldimine nickel(II) (1) was synthesized with 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane, salicylaldimine and NiCl2·6H2O, and carbon nanotube-supported salicylaldimine-nickel catalyst (2) was s...
