Abstract
The ability of the ternary system Nd{N(SiMe3)(2)} (3)/Al(iBu)(3)/AlEt2Cl to polymerize butadiene at 70 degrees C in heptane or toluene was studied. Th e microstructure of the polybutadiene obtained was found to be highly cis-1 ,4. The effect of the ratio Nd{N(SiMe3)(2)}(3)/Al(iBu)(3)/AlEt2Cl and the p olymerization solvent on activity and polybutadiene microstructure were stu died. The best result was obtained for a mole ratio of 1/40/2 in heptane.
