The Ni complex bearing hydroxy groups resulted in not only high polyethylene molecular weight(Mn up to 1.5 × 10^~6), but also significantly increased melting temperature(Tm up to 123℃) and greatly decreased branching density(33/1000 C) versus the Ni catalyst bearing OMe group on para-position of aniline moiety.
