= Cossee–Arlman mechanism
{wiki=Cossee–Arlman_mechanism}
The Cossee–Arlman mechanism is a theoretical framework used to explain the mechanism of polymerization in certain catalytic processes, particularly in the context of olefin polymerization. It was proposed by the chemists Cossee and Arlman in the mid-20th century. The mechanism describes the coordinated steps involved in the polymerization of alkenes (olefins) through a transition metal catalyst, typically zirconium or other metal complexes.
