New group 4 organometallic complexes and their use as homogeneous alpha-olefin polymerizatin catalysts

Eight new half-sandwich titanium catalyst precursors were prepared, and their catalysis of syndiospecific styrene polymerization when activated by methylaluminoxane was studied. Phenyl substitution increases polymerization activity in the order 15 $<$ 13 $<$ 11; the opposite trend was observed...
