Abstract: | Racemic isopropylidene (1-η5-cyclopentadienyl)(1-η5-indenyl) dichlorozirconium and the 3-methylindenyl derivative have been synthesized and characterized. These precursors activated with methylaluminoxane produce poly(propylene) with hemiisotactic microstructures. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
