The PM3(tm) semiempirical method has been used to optimize the structures for the reactants and transition states of the first and second ethylene insertion processes into zirconocene catalytic systems. The results obtained for these reactions are compared with calculations published in the literatu
## Abstract The thermodynamics of the reaction of an ethylene molecule with the Cp~2~TiCH~3~Cl/Al(CH~3~)~2~Cl system (Cp = η~5~‐C~5~H~5~), as a model for olefin polymerization with homogeneous Ziegler‐Natta catalysts, was investigated via quantum mechanical DFT calculations. The comparison of the c
