Abstract
AbstractCombinations of the discrete neutral allyl ansa‐lanthanidocenes {Me2C(Cp)(Flu)}Nd[1,3‐ (SiMe3)2C3H3] and rac‐{Me2C(Ind)2}Y[1,3‐ (SiMe3)2C3H3] with di(n‐butyl)magnesium constitute efficient binary catalytic systems for the stereocontrolled coordinative chain transfer polymerization of styrene, yielding near‐perfect syndio‐ and isospecific polystyrenes, respectively, with high activities and productivities. By adjusting the amount of di(n‐butyl)magnesium, up to 200 polymer chains can be generated per lanthabide center, and good control of the molecular weight features enables the tailoring of low to medium molecular weight polymers.
