A number of cyclopentadienyltitanium aryloxide complexes, 1-Ar-2,3,4,5-Me(4)-Cp(2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3)O)TiCl(2) (Ar = 4-Me(3)SiPhenyl (5), 4-(i)PrPhenyl (6), 4-MePhenyl (7), 3,5-(CF(3))(2)Phenyl (8)) and (1-Ar-2,3,4,5-Me(4)CpTiCl(2))(2)(OAr'O) (Ar' = 4,4'-(3,3',5,5'-(i)Pr(4)C(6)H(2)-C(6)H(2)), Ar = 4-SiMe(3)Phenyl (9), 4-MePhenyl (10)) were synthesized from the reaction of a corresponding cyclope...

Coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) has opened a new path for the development of novel products like olefin block copolymers and chain-end functional polyolefins. However, conflicting results are frequently reported on the catalyst performance including activity and comonomer selectivity under CCTP conditions. Here we have selected two catalysts including rac-ethylenebis(1-η5-inde...

This research aimed to investigate the copolymerization of ethylene and various 1-olefins. The comonomer lengths were varied from 1-hexene (1-C₆) up to 1-octadecene (1-C₁₈) in order to study the effect of comonomer chain length on the activity and properties of the polymer in the metallocene/MAO catalyst system. The results indicated that two distinct cases can be described for the effect of 1-...

Cyclopentadienyl-titanium complexes containing –OC6H4X ligands (X = Cl, CH3) activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) were used in the homo-polymerization of ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-butene, and 1-hexene, and also in copolymerization of ethylene with the α-olefins mentioned. The -X substituents exhibit different electron donor-acceptor properties, which is described by Hammett’...

The chromium/vanadium bimetallic Phillips catalysts developed by our research group have been proved to be a promising process to produce bimodal polyethylene using a single-reactor process. The vanadium loading of CrV-1/1, CrV-1/2, and CrV-1/3 has a significant effect on the polymerization activity, product molecular weight (MW), as well as th...

The title compound, C(23)H(23)BrO(4), is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of fused heterocycles. In the title mol-ecule, the cyclo-hexene ring has a distorted half-chair conformation. The bromo-phenyl ring and the mean plane of the cyclo-hexene ring form a dihedral angle of 13.8 (3)°, whereas the benzene and cyclo-hexene rings are approximately perpendicular [88.44 (17)°]. There are only weak ...
