✦ Synopsis


Copolymerization of ethylene with a symmetrical diene, namely, 2,5-norbornadiene was studied using a homogeneous metallocene/MAO catalyst system. Copolymerizations were found to occur exclusively through one of the two equally reactive endocyclic double bonds with Cp 2 ZrCl 2 , (buCp) 2 ZrCl 2 and Et(Ind) 2 ZrCl 2 catalysts. Both double bonds are involved in the polymerization when Me 2 SiCp 2 ZrCl 2 is used as the catalyst. In the case of Et(Ind) 2 ZrCl 2 , the incorporation of the diene was found to increase with time. The extent of incorporation of the diene, molecular weight and copolymerization activity were found to depend on the nature of the catalyst.

The 1-hexene incorporation in the copolymers is extremely small. Even in the case of a molar rati
