Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the nature of some soluble catalysts for low-pressure ethylene polymerization. Soluble catalysts for the low-pressure ethylene polymerization have been found which are less active than the best heterogeneous catalysts, but which are much more suitable for the basic research on chemical nature of the catalysts. The soluble catalytic system obtained from organo-aluminium compounds and Ti compounds in which the Ti atom is bound to two cyclopentadienyl groups. A crystallizable bimetallic complex has been synthesized which is a catalyst for the polymerization of ethylene. It can be concluded that the Ziegler-type polymerization catalysts are complexes containing organometallic bonds and more than one metal atom.
