摘要
The microstructure of propen/1-pentene copolymers prepares with metallocene catalysts rac-Et(Ind)(2)ZrCl2 and rac-Me2Si((2)-MeBenz-[e]Ind)(2)ZrCl2 was studied by C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Both catalysts lead to the formation of random copolymers although rac-Me2Si(2-MeBenz-[e]Ind)(2)ZrCl2 favors a somewhat higher incorporateion of 1-pentene than rac-Et(Ind)(2)ZrCl2. Surprisingly, the presence of 1-pentene has a significant influence on the stereoregularity of the copolymers formed with rac-Me2Si(2-MeBenz-[e]Ind)(2)ZrCl2. Propene/1-pentene copolymers produced with rac-Et(Ind)(2)ZrCl2 retained the isotacticity of polypropene and featured only the stereoerror pentads mmmr, mmrr and mrrm typical for enantiomorphics site control. However, propene/1-pentene copolymers obtained with rac-Me2Si(2-MeBenz-[e]Ind)(2)ZrCl2 are characterized by a gradual loss of tacticity which is concurrent with an increace in the amount of all irregular pentads. It is proposed that the presence of 1-pentene can lead to a reversible loss of stereo-control over a whole sequence of inserted monomer units. Subsequently, more of less atactic blocks are formed besides isotactic blocks.
