Abstract
The half-sandwich complex [{eta (5):sigma -C5H4(CH2)(2)NEt}Ti(NEt2)(2)] was synthesized and characterized by means of IR-spectroscopy. This compound w as activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) for homogeneous ethene polymerizati on and ethene/propene copolymerization. The effect of the Al/Ti molar ratio on the polymerization activity, the molecular masses, and the thermal prop erties of the polymers was studied. The molecular weight distributions and the DSC measurements of the copolymers show the presence of two different c atalytic sites.
