Abstract

A series of bis (phenoxyketimine) titanium dichloride complexes were synthesized and evaluated as catalysts for living, isoselective propylene polymerization upon activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO). Catalysts bearing phenoxyketimine ligands with different substituents at the ortho and para positions of the phenolate ring and substituents at the ketimine carbon were investigated. The identity of the ketimine substituent had the largest ...
