摘要
Ethylene/1-hexene was copolymerized by an unbridged zirconocene, (2-PhInd)2ZrCl2/MAO (methyl aluminoxane) at 0 °C and 50 °C respectively. High copolymerization activity and 1-hexene incorporation were observed at 0 °C, with the co- polymer formed having random sequence distribution and narrow molecular weight distribution. Ethylene polymerization at 50 °C showed high activity, but copolymerization at 50 °C showed much lower activity, which decreased sharply with increasing 1-hexene concentration in the monomer feed. Copolymer formed at 50 °C showed blocky sequence distribution and broad mo- lecular weight distribution. A mechanism model based on ligand rotation hindered by the propagation chain has been proposed to qualitatively explain the observed phenomena.
