ABSTRACT:
Homogeneous catalyst systems are provided for cyclopolymerization of diolefins, particularly 1,5-hexadiene, which control the stereochemistry, microstructure, and physical properties of the polymers synthesized. The systems comprise homogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts based on group 4 metallocenes and methylalumoxane. The cyclopolymers synthesized exhibit different degrees of stereoregularity, which is a function of the polymerization conditions. In addition, the polyolefins can be chiral and optically active. The polymers produced are of high molecular weight and highly flexible.
