Abstract(s)

Olefin polymerization using low activity catalyst systems: Cp2WCl2-methylaluminoxane, [Cp2Mo(CH3)2][PF6]-methylaluminoxane and Cp2Mo(CH3)2-methylaluminoxane, is described. All these catalyst systems were studied in ethylene and propylene polymerization; however, they only showed catalytic activity for ethylene. Only one type of methylaluminoxane (MAO) was used, prepared in an Al/H2O ratio of 2. The kinetics of polymerization were examined and the experimental data (either presented here or in previous papers) were fitted to the kinetic models developed previously and now extended to account for the methylaluminoxane effect.
