Abstract
A novel magnesium chloride supported titanocene catalyst was synthesiz ed using a soluble tetrahydrofuran complex of magnesium chloride. The suported catalyst polymerized ethylene with high activities in presenc e of methylaluminoxane. The significant feature of the supported metal locene catalyst is that it shows high polymerization activity at low A l/Ti ratio and at higher temperatures compared to soluble catalyst. Th e role of support in stabilizing the active species on the metallocene is discussed.
