25. Pr is more stable than its iso-alkyl isomer (an analogue of 13+pyridine) due to the bulkiness of the ligand 1a and of the lutidine.

32. Additionally, we found that Pd complexes bearing alkylphosphine-sulfonate ligands are also effective catalysts for the production of highly linear polyethylene. See Supporting Information.
33. Although cis/trans isomerization reactions of a series of Pd phosphine-sulfonate complexes were proposed by Ziegler et al. in reference 15 the structures of the TSs were not fully reported. See also: (a) Haras, A.; Michalak, A.; Rieger, B.; Ziegler, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 8765-8774.

41. Similar results were obtained in the case of other olefin polymerization catalysts bearing unsymmetric bidentate ligands. For example,(a) Chan, M. S. W.; Deng, L. Q.; Ziegler, T. Organometallics 2000, 19, 2741-2750.

44. More detailed analysis on ethylene insertion regarding the nature of the unsymmetric character of this ligand is described in Supporting Information.
45. Relative electronic energy of TS(8′-9′) is lower than that of 9′. This indicates the existence of another lower-energy intermediate before 9′. By IRC calculation from TS(8′-9′), an intermediates which can be recognized as "9′ + pyridine" was obtained. In fact, the relative electronic energy of "9′ + pyridine" was lower than that of 9′; however, the Gibbs free energy was higher than that of 9′.
