Contributions to the Ziegler–Natta Catalysis: An Anthology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polyolefins: 50 years after Ziegler and Natta I

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 257))

Abstract

This anthology summarizes contributions to Ziegler–Natta catalysis that have led through novel experimental methods to well-founded results, to continuing conclusions, and to increasing knowledge about the course of this catalysis. The complex and manifold mechanism has been elucidated in extensive kinetic studies in a half continuous tank reactor, in a plug flow reactor with oligomer distribution analysis as an additional “measuring instrument,” by dynamic NMR spectroscopy with line shape analysis, through use of 13C-enriched reacting ethylene as a molecular surveyor, and by observation of the individual behavior of a large number of particles with supported catalysts by transmission electron microscopy and video microscopy. The synopsis of the results of the different experimental methods gives assurance that we are safely on the right path.

Studies with W. Zoller, R. Rottler, D. Schnell, W. Fenzl, R. Mynott, N. Herfert, J. van der Leek, M. Reffke, R. Kleinschmidt, R. Goretzki, K Angermund, V. Jensen, W. Thiel, B. Tesche, B. Steinmetz, C. Przybyla, J. Zechlin, B. Weimann, K. Hauschild, F. Korber, S. Knoke, A. Alexiades, and D. Ferrari.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The programme “Historical Landmarks of Chemistry” (Historische Stätten der Chemie) was instigated by the GDCh in order to draw the attention of the general public to research of particular significance to the development of chemistry in Germany. The objective is ultimately to further an interest in the cultural inheritance of chemistry while emphasizing its historical basis. The locations where important scientists made their most significant discoveries are recalled in an inaugural act with the unveiling of a plaque and with the publication of a booklet [1] describing their work and its present day relevance.
