Abstract: | The preparation of a series of titanium half-sandwich compounds Ti(η5-C5H5−x
(SiMe3)
x
R3] (x = 1–3, R = Cl, Me) and their reactivity for propene polymerization is reported. The compounds 1–3 polymerize propene, albeit in a much lower activity than the reported Ti(η5-C5Me5Me3]/B(C6F5)3 catalyst. Unlike the reported Ti(η5-C5Me5Me3]/B(C6F5)3 catalyst, the quasi living polymerization was not observed. Instead, we observe rather unusual temperature effects when the trityl salt Ph3C]B(C6F5)4] was used as activator. The activity increases with increasing temperature, whereas when B(C6F5)3 is used a decrease is observed The rather broad (>2) PDI indicates multisite catalysts, and 13C-NMR indicates predominantly atactic polypropene. The solid state structure of the hydrolysis product {Ti(η5-C5H4(SiMe3)Cl2}O] (4) was determined. |
