Abstract

The effect of various organometallic compounds (Me3Al, Et3Al, i-Bu 3Al, Et2Zn, Me4Sn, Et4Pb) on the activity and productivity of catalytic systems based on (C5H5)4Zr and (C5H5)4Ti and the molecular- mass characteristics of polymers is investigated. The effect of additives on the activity of catalysts; on the shape of kinetic curves of polymerization; and on the molec ular mass, molecular-mass distribution, and poly- dispersity of the resulting polymers is associated with reversible chain transfer to the organometallic compounds.
