Neutral group-IV and rare-earth complexes stabilized by novel C s and C 1 -symmetric 2-pyridylethylanilido ligands have been prepared and fully characterized before being scrutinized as catalyst precursors in the isoprene (IP) polymerization. In all the isolated complexes, these ligands coordinate t...
