Abstract
Polymerization of ethylene in the presence of Cp2Ni (Cp: cyclopentadie nyl) and methylaluminoxane affords polyethylene of high molecular weig ht and with high melting point. The same catalyst is active in the pol ymerization of styrene and 1,3-butadiene to give partially isotactic p olystyrene and 1,4-cis-polybutadiene, respectively.
