Titanium Monoamidinate−MAO Catalysts: Some Information about Active Species and Stereochemical Polymerization Mechanisms

Abstract

This paper reports stereospecific polymerization of propene, 1,3-butadiene, and styrene, in the presence of titanium trichloroamidinate/MAO catalysts, under different reaction conditions. Comparison of the structures of the polymers obtained at different temperatures provides some information about the active species involved in promoting the stereospecific polymerizations of the different monomers.
