Abstract
AbstractThe monomer‐isomerization was studied in the polymerization of α‐olefins with the catalytic systems TiCl3/(C2H5)3Al and Ti(OC4H9)4/(C2H5)3Al. The isomerization to the corresponding olefins with internal double bond was found to occur during the polymerization. With the system TiCl3/(C2H5)3Al only a small amount of isomerized olefin was produced as result of the rapid polymerization of the α‐olefins. Significant isomerization was observed to take place with a poor polymerization catalyst such as Ti(OC4H9)4/(C2H5)3Al. Isomerization and polymerization of α‐olefins with Ziegler‐Natta catalysts were found to depend on the oxidation state of titanium.
