However, there is also a major difference between the two types of catalysts. The olefin polymerization metallocene catalysts (cf. Section 2.3.1.1) are much more electrophilic, due to the higher positive charge of the metal ion, than the pal-ladium(II) complexes discussed above. For polyketone formation, electrophilicity needs to be balanced so that olefins can still compete with carbon monoxide for coordination to the metal cation.

Due to the inert-pair effect. Group 13 elements sometimes produce low-valent monomeric metallocenes as well as high-valent oligomeric metallocene clusters and polymeric metallocene chains. Half-sandwich metallocenes of Group 13 elements can be found in the gas phase, but exist as clusters and polymeric forms in the solid state. Schleyer calculated the CpE, E = Be, B, C, and N, molecules at the SCF level and found the shortest C-C ring bond length in CpB (18). The... 

The interesting redox chemistry of such conjugated polymeric metallocene systems has been reviewed [121]. For example, oligo(l,ll -dihexylferrocenylenes) 61 show an intervalence charge transfer band (IVCT) on oxidation. For the singly oxidized chains, the IVCT band zmax decreases as the number of ferrocene units increases, as expected. Also, as expected the energy of the IVCT band increases as the oxidation level increases. 

A great variety of possibilities are available when a metal is part of a linear or crosslinked macromolecule (Section 1.2.1, Fig. 7-1). One possibility is the covalent incorporation of a metal into a homochain (metal-metal connections) or a heterochain (metal-heteroatom connections). Coordinative bonds between a metal ion and another coordinating donor group can lead to linear chains or to supramolecular organizations when coordination polymers are formed. n-Bonds between rt-rich aromatic compounds and metal ions can result in polymeric metallocenes. Covalent and coordinative bonds are realized in cofacially stacked metal complexes. In addition, dendrimers containing the interaction of metals and another group in different bonds are treated in this chapter. 

Natta polymerizations, metallocene polymerizations are used to produce nonstereospecific polymers because of changes in molecular weight distribution and reactivity ratios relative to other types of polymerizations. 

EPM [poly(ethylene-co-propylene)] and EPDM [poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-5-ethylidene-2-norbomene)P can be metallocene catalyst polymerized. Metallocene catalyst technologies include (1) Insite, a constrained geometry group of catalysts used to produce AfiGnity polyolefin plastomers (POP), Elite PE, Nordel EPDM, and Engage polyolefin elastomers (POP) and (2) Exxpol ionic metallocene catalyst compositions used to produce Exact plastomer octene copolymers.2 Insite technology produces EPDM-based Nordel IP with property consistency and predictability (see Sec. 3.2.2).

In addition to zirconocenes, C -symmetric scandocenes and yttrocenes with two dimethylsilyl interannular linkers (38a-c, 39, Figure 4.18) have been synthesized and tested as polymerization catalysts for propylene and 1-pentene." " Owing to the electronics of these group 3 catalysts (14-electron, d electronic configuration) no cocatalysts are required. However, metallocene chlorides cannot be used for polymerization metallocene alkyl or hydride compounds are necessary. 

Arnold et al. reported in 1988 [68] the synthesis of oligomeric or low molecular-weight polymeric metallocenes (M = Fe or Ru) in which the separate metallocene units are held proximate and face to face by the bridging peri-substituted naphthalene rings, 17. Cyclic voltammetry of the ferrocene oligomers shows...
