A well-defined metallocene catalyst supported on polystyrene beads

Abstract

A spacer-modified polystyrene support with alcohol functionality was prepared using solid-phase organic reactions, and this resin was further derivatised to give a supported peralkylated titanocene which was active in ethylene polymerisation.
