Abstract
The hydro-oligomerization of cyclopentene in toluene solution using [ethylenebis(η 5 -indenyl)]-zirconium dichloride (1) or bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride and methylaluminoxane as catalysts was studied. The results conclusively demonstrate that the original structure assigned to poly(cyclopentene) is incorrect and that enchainment of cyclopentene occurs predominantlt by cis-1,3-insertion. A mechanism for the polymerization of cyclopentene using catalyst 1 is discussed.
