P. Longo et al., LOW-TEMPERATURE POLYMERIZATION OF SOME CONJUGATED DIOLEFINS IN THE PRESENCE OF GROUP-4 METAL-CATALYSTS, Gazzetta chimica italiana, 126(6), 1996, pp. 377-382
Low-temperature polymerization of some conjugated diolefins in the pre
sence of different homogeneous catalysts consisting of Group 4 metal c
ompounds and methylaluminoxane has been investigated. The oxidation st
ate of the Group 4 metal in the active species seems to be lower than
4. The ancillary ligands play a non negligible role in the polymerizat
ion of (Z)-1,3-pentadiene and 4-methyl-1,3-pentadiene.
