Abstract:
The project deals with the basic research in the field of synthesis of single site metallocene and nonmetallocene catalysts and their applications in specific styrene and olefin polymerizations and copolymerizations. A series of novel monocyclopentadienyltitanium complexes and polymer supports will be synthesized and the catalytic systems prepared thereof will be evaluated for the syndiospecific polymerization of styrene.

Key words: single site catalysts; titanium; zirconium; cationic complexes; polymer supports; bimetallic complexes; polymerization; syndiotactic polystyrene; polyethylene.
