Title: Transition metal complexes supported on metal-organic frameworks for heterogeneous catalysts

Abstract

A robust mesoporous metal-organic framework comprising a hafnium-based metal-organic framework and a single-site zirconium-benzyl species is provided. The hafnium, zirconium-benzyl metal-organic framework is useful as a catalyst for the polymerization of an alkene.
