Abstract

Data are presented on the great differences of the kinetics of hexene-1 and propylene polymerization over the same supported titanium–magnesium catalyst, as well as molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polymers produced. It is found that the composition of cocatalysts (AlEt3 or Al(i-Bu)3 greatly affects the kinetics of hexene-1 polymerization and molecular weight distribution of polyhexene, contrary to data obtained at propylene polymerization. The presence of hydrogen at hexene-1 polymerization leads to a much higher increase of activity in comparison with propylene polymerization. Possible reasons for these differences are discussed on the basis of experimental results.
