Abstract
AbstractAddition polymerization of norbornene was performed with several pyridine bis(imine) cobalt dichloride complexes activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO), first described for ethylene polymerization. For the first time, norbornene was also polymerized with CoCl2 associated to MAO. The influence of several reaction parameters has been investigated. Quite different behavior was observed compared with ethylene polymerization. Moreover, the copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene with these complexes was not possible but led to a mixture of both homopolymers.The pyridine bis(imine) cobalt dichloride complexes used in this study.magnified imageThe pyridine bis(imine) cobalt dichloride complexes used in this study.
