Abstract: | Supports were obtained by the interaction of C4H9MgCl with the reaction mixture of AlCl3 and CH3Si(OC2H5)3 or Si(OC2H5)4 (Mg/Al/Si = 2/1/1). With the combination of Al(C2H5)3 and methyl-p-toluate, immobilized titanium catalysts prepared by the treatment of the supports with TiCl4 and ethylbenzoate showed extraordinary high activity and stereoregularity in the polymerization of propylene.1 By the study of the reaction of AlCl3 with CH3Si(OC2H5)3, the elemental analysis and powder x-ray diffractometric measurements of the supports, it was found that the supports comprised of Cl, Mg, Al, and Si atoms, OC2H5 groups, C4H9 groups, and ethers, and that they were amorphous solids to the extent that the x-ray diffraction peak assigned to the 003 plane in MgCl2 crystals completely disappeared. |
