Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A series of Ti(iv), Zr(iv) and Hf(iv) benzotriazole phenoxide (BTP) complexes were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. The monosubstituted Zr(iv) BTP complexes [(μ-L)Zr(OPr)]1-3 [L = BTP-H (1), BTP-H (2), BTP-H (3)] and tetrasubstituted Zr(iv), Hf(iv) complexes ZrL4-6 [L = BTP-H (4), BTP-H (5), BTP-H (6)] and HfL7-9 [L = BTP-H (7), BTP-H (8), BTP-H (9)] were prepared by the reaction of Zr(O Pr)·(PrOH) and Hf(O Bu) in toluene with the respective ligands in different stoichiometric proportions. The reaction between BTP and TiCl and ZrCl and HfCl in a 2:1 stoichiometric reaction resulted in the formation of disubstituted group IV chloride complexes L MCl10-12 [L = BTP-H, M = Ti, Zr and Hf]. The molecular structures of complexes 1, 4, 7, 10, 11, and 12 were determined by single-crystal X-ray studies. The X-ray structure of 1 reveals a dimeric Zr(iv) complex containing a ZrO core bridged through the oxygen atoms of the phenoxide groups. Each Zr atom is distorted from an octahedral symmetry. These complexes were found to be active towards the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of l-lactide (l-LA) and rac-lactide (rac-LA). Complex 1 produced highly heterotactic poly(lactic acid) (PLA) from rac-LA under melt conditions with narrow molecular weight distributions (MWDs) and well controlled number average molecular weights (M). Additionally, epoxide polymerizations using rac-cyclohexene oxide (CHO), rac-propylene oxide (PO), and rac-styrene oxide (SO) were also carried out with these complexes. The yield and molecular weight of the polymer was found to increase with the extension of reaction time. Compounds 1-12 were activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) and show good activity for ethylene polymerization and produced high molecular weight polyethylene. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
