BIS(SALICYLALDIMINATO)TITANIUM COMPLEX CATALYSTS, HIGHLY SYNDIOTACTIC POLYPROPYLENE BY A CHAIN-END CONTROL MECHANISM, BLOCK COPOLYMERS CONTAINING THIS

摘要

Bis(salicylaldiminato)titanium complex with optionally subsituted phenyl or cyclohexyl on nitrogen catalyzes highely syndiospecific polymerization of propylene. Syndiotactic polypropylene with defects of the type rmr having [rrrr] content greater than 0.70 and block copolymer containing block(s) of the syndiotactic polypropylene and block(s) of poly(ethylene-co-proéylene) and/or poly(alpha-olefin-co-propylene) are obtained. Certain of the catalysts provide living polymerization. Living olefin polymers and olefin terminated oligomers and polymers are also products.
