A. Fries et al., POLYMERIZATION OF HEX-1-ENE BY HOMOGENEOUS ZIRCONOCENE AND HAFNOCENE CATALYSTS IN COMPRESSED SOLUTION, Chemical communications, (6), 1996, pp. 783-784
Poly(hexene) with very high molecular weight is produced at 250 MPa (2
500 atm) with (C(5)HMe(4))(2)HfCl2-methyl aluminoxane (MAO) as catalys
t; the dependence of the polymerization on the reaction pressure (0.1
MPa-1.5 GPa) and the substituent pattern of a zirconocene catalyst is
described.
