Abstract
The replacement of MAO by different aluminum alkyls in the polymerization of higher α‐olefins catalyzed by rac‐EtInd~2~ZrCl~2~ and rac‐(CH~3~)~2~CInd~2~ZrCl~2~ and in the syndiospecific polymerization of styrene with CpTiCl~3~ as a catalyst was studied. An activating effect for all catalysts investigated was found when adding TIBA, while TEA and THA have a deactivating effect. It was found that more than half of the expensive methylaluminoxane can be successfully replaced by TIBA without deleterious effects on the catalyst activity and the properties of the polymers synthesized during higher α‐olefin polymerization catalyzed by rac‐EtInd~2~ZrCl~2~ and rac‐(CH~3~)~2~CInd~2~ZrCl~2~.
