[OSSO]-type dibenzyl zirconium(IV) complexes <b>9</b> and <b>10</b> possessing aryl substituents ortho to the phenoxide moieties (ortho substituents, phenyl and 2,6-dimethylphenyl (Dmp)) were synthesized and characterized. Upon activation with dMAO (dried methylaluminoxane), complex <b>9</b> was found to promote highly isospecific styrene polymerizations ([<i>mm</i>] = 97.5%⁻99%) with high molecular weights <i>M</i><sub>w</sub> up to 181,000 g·mmol<sup>-1</sup>. When the Dmp-substituted pre-cata ...[more]
