Abstract

Cationic rare earth metal alkyl species, generated by the treatment of mono(cyclopentadienyl) bis(alkyl) rare earth metal complexes with 1 equiv. of a borate compound such as [Ph₃C][B(C₆F₅)₄], act as an excellent catalyst for the polymerization and copolymerization of various olefins such as ethylene, 1-hexene, styrene, norbornene, dicyclopentadiene, and isoprene. These catalysts show unprecedented activity and regio- and stereo-selectivity and afford a series of new polymers which are difficult to be prepared previously.
