Neodymium 2-ethylhexanoate

Neodymium(III) isooctanoate (Nd O), also designated as neodymium 2-ethylhexanoate. 

Polymerization and Modification Cyclohexane (60 g) and 1,3-butadiene (6 g) were placed in a pressure bottle having an internal volume of 100 ml under nitrogen atmosphere. Separately, a catalyst was previously prepared by mixing neodymium 2-ethylhexanoate-acetylacetone complex (0.111 imiiol). triisobutylaluminum (3.11 mmol), diisobutylaluminum hydride (1.55 imol) and ethylaluminumsesqui chloride (0.222 nmol) in the presence of 1,3-butadiene (0.555 mmol), and aging the mixture at 30X) for 30...
