Jc. Liu, A BIMETALLIC SILOXANE CAGE MODEL CATALYST - SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND POLYMERIZATION BEHAVIOR OF [(C-C6H11)(7)(SI7O12)MGTICL3](N) (N=1,2), Chemical communications, (10), 1996, pp. 1109-1110
Butylethylmagnesium reacts with polyhedral (c-C6H11)(7)(Si7O9)(OH)(3)
to give [(c-C6H11)(7)(Si7O9)(OH)O2Mg](n) (n = 1,2), which upon reactio
n with TiCl4 give [(c-C6H11)(7)(Si7O12)MgTiCl3](n) (n = 1,2) as a mono
mer/dimer mixture; this new bimetallic siloxane cage model catalyst, i
n the presence of triethylaluminium, shows a high catalytic activity f
or ethene polymerization.
