| Abstract: | A series of bis(4‐fluorophenyl)methyl‐substituted bis(imino)pyridyliron chloride complexes were immobilized on oxide supports. The kinetics of ethylene polymerization by both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems was followed, the catalysts mostly demonstrating high activities. The effect of the ligands nature and reaction conditions on the catalytic activities and molecular weights of the resultant polyethylenes was examined. In contrast to homogeneous systems, the supported iron complexes were found to exhibit high and stable activity upon activation with triisobutyl aluminium, producing high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene with good morphology. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
