Comparative data on the micro‐structures and properties of branched polyethylenes (BPE) produced via ethylene homopolymerization over homogeneous N,N‐α‐diimine LNiBr2 complexes with different ligand composition (AlEt2Cl as a cocatalyst) and corresponding supported catalysts LNiBr2/SiO2(Al) (Al[iso‐Bu]3 as a cocatalyst) are presented. Noticeable differences were observed between micro‐structures of BPEs obtained using homo‐ and heterogeneous LNiBr2 complexes as catalysts. Supported catalysts produce BPEs with the majority of methyl branches (17–18 CH3(1000 C)−1 characterized by different molecular masses (1800–210 kg mol−1) and molecular weight distributions (Mw[Mn]−1 = 5.9 and 2.6). Thermal and mechanical properties of these BPE samples obtained over supported Ni catalysts are similar to those of commercial LLDPE samples prepared with metallocene and Ziegler‐Natta catalysts.
