13C NMR analysis of α‐olefins copolymers with 1,3‐butadiene obtained with zirconocenes/methylalumoxane catalysts
Abstract
Ethylene copolymers with propene and/or 1,3‐butadiene were obtained using bis(η 5‐cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride (1) or ethylenebis[1‐3a, 7a‐η‐(4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro)‐1‐indenyl]zirconium dichloride (2) and methylalumoxane as catalytic systems. A detailed 13 C NMR analysis of the copolymers was performed. The resonances in the olefinic region of the terpolymers were assigned to ethylene/butadiene/ethylene and propene/butadiene/ethylene sequences while the butadiene/propene sequence was ruled out. Analogously, no polymers were obtained from the polymerization of propene in the presence of 1,3‐butadiene. It is thus shown that the conjugated diene is an inhibitor for the polymerization of α‐olefins. The presence of trans‐1,2‐cyclopentane rings was detected both in the ethylene/butadiene copolymers and in the ethylene/propene/butadiene terpolymers. A different behaviour of the two catalysts was observed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
