Asymmetric Zirconocene Precursors for Catalysis of Propylene Polymerization
Racemic isopropylidene(1-eta(5)-cyclopentadienyl)(1-eta 5-indenyl) dichlorozirconium and the 3-methylindenyl derivative have been synthesized and characterized. These precursors activated with methylaluminoxane produce poly(propylene) with hemiisotactic microstructures.
