Abstract

Novel data on the composition of active centers of Ziegler-Natta catalysts and on the mechanism of propagation and chain transfer reactions are reviewed. These data are derived from the following trends in the study of the mechanism of catalytic polymerization: a) determination of the number of active centers (mainly with the use of radioactive CO as a tag); b) analysis of the microstructure of polymers with the use of 13C-NMR; c) analysis of specific features of highly active supported catalysts; d) quantum-chemical calculation of the electronic structure of active centers and their reactions.
