© 2017 Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to investigate the ethylene insertion pathway using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst in the absence and presence of electron donor (ED) systems on the (1 1 0) MgCl 2 surface. The coadsorptions of four different EDs i.e. Si(OEt) m Cl...
