Abstract
A supported version of zirconocene catalysts on siloxane copolymers having 1,2,3,4‐tetramethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp″)‐fluorenyl (Flu) (I) or cyclopentadienyl (Cp)‐fluorenyl (II) groups as substituents was prepared and applied to propene polymerization using methylalumoxane (MAO) or [Ph~3~C][B(C~6~F~5~)~4~] as cocatalyst. Catalyst (I), which was soluble in toluene, exhibited very low activity, whereas catalyst (II), which was composed of a toluene soluble (Cat‐A) and an insoluble fraction (Cat‐B), displayed a fairly high activity. Both catalysts (A and B) give a mixture of syndiotactic, atactic and a small quantity of isotactic polypropene, with a fraction of syndiotactic pentads ranging from about 50–75%. In contrast, the corresponding non‐supported catalyst gives almost completely atactic polypropene.
