Abstract

The behaviour of a recently proposed model of the isospecific Ziegler-Natta polymerization has been examined by conformational energy calculations. With respect to the initiation step at a Ti-CH₃ bond, in the framework of our assumptions, the predictions of the model are in agreement with the experimental findings for these initiation reactions, that is the non-stereospecific behaviour for propene insertion and the partial enantioselectivity for butene insertion.
