The discovery of metallocene catalysts and their present state of the art
Abstract
Metallocene and other transition metal complexes activated by methylaluminoxane are highly active catalysts for the polymerization of olefins, diolefins, and styrene, which was discovered at the University of Hamburg about 25 years ago. These catalysts allow the synthesis of polymers with a highly defined microstructure, tacticity, and stereoregularity, as well as new copolymers with superior properties such as film clarity, tensile strength, and lower extractables. A better understanding of the mechanism of olefin polymerization leads to findings of other new single site catalysts. The development of the metallocene/MAO‐catalysts from their discovery to their present state of the art is presented. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 3911–3921, 2004

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.
