Notes:
Soluble catalysts of V(acac)3 and AIR2X (R = C2H5, n-C3H7, i-C4H9; X = Cl, Br) initiate a living polymerization of propene at -78°C to afford monodisperse polymers of syndiotactic structure. The stereochemistry of the living polymerization was investigated by examining the structures of monomdisperse polypropylenes and of propylene-ethylene block copolymers by means of 13C NMR spectroscopy. It was found that syndiotactic- and regio-specificities of the soluble vanadium-based catalysts are not influenced by the sequence length of the living polymer chain.
