Tk. Woo et al., DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL STUDY OF THE INSERTION STEP IN OLEFIN POLYMERIZATION BY METALLOCENE AND CONSTRAINED-GEOMETRY CATALYSTS, Organometallics, 13(2), 1994, pp. 432-433
Nonlocal density functional (DF) calculations have been carried out on
the insertion of ethylene into the metal-CH3 bond of the Kaminsky typ
e metallocenes (KTM) Cp2ZrCH3+ (2), (SiH2CP2)ZrCH3+ (3), Cp2ScCH3+ (4)
, and (SiH2(Cp)NH)ZrCH3+ (5).
