Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 1000 ml autoclave was charged with 6.0 mg of lnd2ZrCl2, 100 ml of toluene and 2.45 ml of a solution of MAO in toluene (d=0.860 g/ml, 5.9 wt. % Al, Al/Zr ratio of about 300), and 3.88 g of anhydrous decane (internal standard). The autoclave was sealed and removed from the dry box. The reactor was warmed to 55° C. and charged with 22.2 g of dry 1-decene, and then 100 g of dry polymer grade propylene at 136 psi. Stirring at 55° C. was continued for 1.5 hours. Work-up as described above gave 48.3 g of a propylene/1-decene copolymer containing approximately 21.5% 1-decene based on GC analysis of the crude reaction mixture. This clear, viscous copolymer was determined to have a Mn of 1,704 and a DI of 1.67. Using Proton NMR, a terminal vinylidine content of better than 80% was calculated for this product.
