Abstract

Methylaluminoxane (MAO) was reacted with a small quantity of p‐hydroquinone to obtain a modified MAO insoluble in toluene. Ethylene and propylene homo‐ and copolymerization were conducted with zirconocene using the modified MAO as cocatalyst both in the presence and absence of triisobutylaluminium. It was found that the modified MAO alone cannot activate the zirconocene catalyst, whereas polymers with high molecular weights are obtained when combined with triisobutylaluminium. The catalytic activity is markedly dependent on the mole ratio of p‐hydroquinone to MAO as well as the amount of triisobutyl‐aluminium.

## Abstract Summary: We have confirmed that water‐ and pentafluorophenol‐modified isobutylmethylaluminoxane (W/PM‐MMAO) enhances the productivity and stereoregularity of the yielded polymer and increases its molecular weight when propylene is polymerized using __C__~2~‐symmetric __ansa__‐zirconocen

## Abstract Olefin polymerizations were conducted with novel multimetallic zirconocene catalyst systems: RCpCpZrCl~2~ (1) (R = dimethylsilylferrocene; Cp = cyclopentadienyl) and (RCp)~2~ZrCl~2~ (2) in combination with methylaluminoxane or tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) borates. In ethylene polymeriz
