Three reactants, polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes (POSS) (c-C 6 H 11 ) 7 (Si 7 O 9 )(OH) 3 (1), butylethylmagnesium (2) and titanium tetrachloride TiCl 4 (3), react in three different ways according to the order of addition to form three model catalysts, A2, B2 and C2. A2, which is characterized as a bimetallic siloxane cage model catalyst [(c-C 6 H 11 ) 7 (Si 7 O 12 )MgTiCl 3 ] n (n = 1,2), contains a singly bonded (Ti-O-Si) with a doubly bonded Mg(-O-Si) 2 . B2 contains a doubly bonded Ti(-O-Si) 2 with a singly bonded Mg(-O-Si). C2 contains a triply bonded Ti(-O-Si) 3 . As catalyst precursors the model catalysts demonstrate different activity and catalytic behavior toward ethylene polymerization in the presence of triethylaluminum. Three types of M x -O y -Si z bonding structures are proposed as bonding models for silicasupported Ziegler-Natta catalysts.
