Experimental Conditions that Affect Polymer Tacticity

3 Experimental Conditions that Affect Polymer Tacticity 

Polymerization conditions can affect the synthesis of iPPby C2-symmetric catalysts. A temperature dependence of polymer tacticity has been observed, with higher temperatures resulting in a decrease in the mmmm content of the polymer. This observation has been rationalized in terms of the relative energy of enantioface selectivity of propylene insertion.
