Metals studied with 2,2′-bis(2-indenyl) biphenyl include titanium, zirconium, and hafnium.[citation needed] The ligand and its complexes have been prepared by the research group of the late Brice Bosnich at The University of Chicago.[1] Zirconium and hafnium complexes made from this ligand were found to be active catalysts for the polymerization of the smallest alkenes – compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds—namely, ethylene and propylene.[citation needed] The use of such complexes in the polymerization of alkenes has since been reported, and patented by DSM Research.[2][3]
