Abstract
Monocyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride (CpTiCl~3~) was directly immobilized on silica surface. The resulting CpTiCl~3~/SiO~2~βMAO was investigated in view of its suitability for syndiospecific polymerization of styrene using ESR spectroscopy. Polymerization results show that both the syndiotacticity and the activity decrease upon immobilization. A possible explanation is that the active sites may become aspecific after immobilization and part of the immobilized active sites can be leached into the solution in the presence of MAO.

An on-line electron spin resonance (ESR) technique was applied to investigate the syndiospecific polymerization of styrene activated by the catalyst system CpTiCl 3 /MMAO. The measurements included trivalent titanocene concentration and monomer conversion. The activation procedure was found to have
