Abstract:
The (E) isomer in mixtures of (E) and (Z) 1,3-hexadiene was polymerized
with the system CoCl2(PiPrPh2)2-MAO, a highly active and stereospecific catalyst for
the preparation of 1,2 syndiotactic polybutadiene. A new crystalline polymer with a
melting point of 109 8C was obtained. The polymer was characterized by IR, NMR
(13C, 1H in solution and 13C in the solid-state), X-ray diffraction, DSC, GPC and it
was found to have a trans-1,2 syndiotactic structure with a 5.18 6 0.04 A ˚ fiber periodicity.
Since only the (E) isomer was polymerized, at the end of the reaction we were
able to separate the (Z) isomer, which was ultimately polymerized with CpTiCl3-MAO
at low temperature, obtaining a low molecular weight, stereoregular polymer that,
characterized by IR and NMR methods, was found to exhibit a cis-1,2 syndiotactic
structure, never reported before. Molecular mechanics calculations were carried out
on the trans-1,2 syndiotactic polymer and structural models consistent with the Xray
diffraction data are proposed
