Over the last 20 years, there has been an enormous increase in the use of NMR spectroscopy in metallocene-based polymerisation catalysis and these studies have provided an unprecedented increase in our understanding this has allowed the properties of homo- and co-polymers to be tailored and transition state energies to be lowered by 1-2 kcal mol , which makes all the difference between a poor and a highly successful catalyst.
