Polyolefins account for two thirds by weight of the global synthetic polymers. There are more than 300 grades of commercial polyolefins, whose properties depend on their microstructures being varied according to the type of catalyst used in the production process and ultimately on the final method of manufacture. Despite having catalytic activities not higher than those of common catalysts, vanadium-based catalysts display several advantages, such as ethylene polymerization for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, better copolymerization of alpha-olefins with ethylene which affords higher comonomer incorporation, producing good syndiotactic polypropylene, as well as producing synthetic rubbers by copolymerizing either ethylene-propylene or ethylene-propylene-diene. The latter materials, in particular, are known for their excellent applications with ozone, UV, heat and water-resistance, for the automotive industry and seal gaskets for shield tunnels and even in heat shielding materials for solid rocket motors. To tailor polyolefins in order to design their microstructures, there are more and more studies on post-metallocene vanadium(III-V) catalysts employing various N-, O-, N,O- and even P-ligands. Herein we summarize important developments of the vanadium complex catalysts within a decade.

聚烯烃占全球合成聚合物重量的三分之二。有300多种等级的商品聚烯烃，其性能取决于其微结构，这些微观结构根据生产过程中所用催化剂的类型以及最终的最终制造方法而变化。钒基催化剂尽管具有不高于普通催化剂的催化活性，但仍显示出若干优点，例如用于超高分子量聚乙烯的乙烯聚合，α-烯烃与乙烯的更好共聚，从而提供更高的共聚单体掺入量，生产出良好的间同立构聚丙烯，以及通过使乙烯-丙烯或乙烯-丙烯-二烯共聚生产合成橡胶。特别是后一种材料，众所周知，它们具有出色的抗臭氧，紫外线，耐热和防水性能，可用于汽车工业，以及用于盾构隧道的密封垫，甚至用于固体火箭发动机的隔热材料。为了定制聚烯烃以设计其微结构，对使用各种N-，O-，N，O-甚至P-配体的后茂金属钒（III-V）催化剂的研究越来越多。在此，我们总结了十年之内钒络合物催化剂的重要发展。O-甚至P-配体。在此，我们总结了十年之内钒络合物催化剂的重要发展。O-甚至P-配体。在此，我们总结了十年之内钒络合物催化剂的重要发展。
