Butadiene Insertion and Constitutional Units in Ethene Copolymerizations by C2-Symmetric Metallocenes
Abstract
Copolymerizations of ethylene with 1,3-butadiene in the presence of catalytic systems based on some C 2 -symmetric zirconocenes ( rac -[CH 2 (3-R-1-indenyl) 2 ]ZrCl 2 where R = −C(CH 3 ) 3 ( 1 ), −CH(CH 3 ) 2 ( 2 ), −CH 2 CH 3 ( 3 ), −CH 3 ( 4 ), and −H ( 5 )) are compared. The chemical nature and the relative amount of constitutional comonomer units from butadiene are strongly affected by the bulkiness of the substituent in positions 3 and 3‘. DFT calculations indicate that the observed dependence of constitutional units from butadiene on the bulkiness of the alkyl ligand substituent can be easily rationalized by the occurrence of an unusual insertion mechanism for butadiene. This mechanism, involving butadiene η 2 primary coordination followed by its primary vinyl insertion, becomes largely predominant for catalytic systems based on the zirconocenes ( 1 − 4 ), which present R ≥ CH 3 . This kind of butadiene insertion mechanism is also able to account for the high stereoregularity which is observed for adjacent methylene-1,2-cyclopropane units.

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.
