Abstract
A variety of methoxy-substituted (indenyl)trichlorotitanium complexes were synthesized, and these precursors were used to polymerize styrene , ethylene, and propylene. The complexes, when activated with methylal uminoxane (MAO), show only low activity for alpha-olefin polymerizatio n. Oxygen-aluminum coordination between the methoxy group and MAO coul d be the deactivating interaction.
