Abstract

Summary: Stereoblock, isotactic‐hemiisotactic poly(propylene) is produced with C~1~‐symmetric Me~2~C(η^5^‐3‐(2‐adamantyl)‐C~5~H~3~)(η^5^‐C~9~H~4~S~2~)ZrCl~2~ (1). Ethylene/propylene copolymerization data with the C~s~‐symmetric Me~2~C(η^5^‐C~5~H~4~)(η^5^‐C~9~H~4~S~2~)ZrCl~2~ (2) metallocene reveals that it is highly propylene‐specific and that it produces more random ethylene/propylene copolymers than its fluorenyl analog.
