Hg. Alt et R. Zenk, C-2-SYMMETRICAL BIS(FLUORENYL) COMPLEXES - 4 COMPLEX-MODELS AS POTENTIAL CATALYSTS FOR THE ISOSPECIFIC POLYMERIZATION OF PROPYLENE, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 512(1-2), 1996, pp. 51-60
Four possible structures of C-2-symmetric bis(fluorenyl)zirconium comp
lexes are presented. Three bis(fluorenyl)zirconocene complexes have be
en prepared and tested for the polymerization of propylene and ethylen
e. rac / meso-Dichloro[eta(10)-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis (7H-benzo[c]fluoren
-7-ylidene)zirconium (10/10) seems to be the most active polymerizati
on catalyst for ethylene.
