Isolation of a single-insertion intermediate in the catalytic polymerization of propene by a cationic tris(hydrocarbyl) zirconium complex

Abstract
Propene reacts smoothly with the alkene polymerization catalyst [Zr(CH2Ph)3{(η6-PhCH2)B(C6F5)3}]1 to give initially the single-insertion adduct [Zr(ηnCH2Ph)2(CH2CHMeCH2Ph)]+[B(CH2Ph)(C6F5)3]2, which has been isolated and characterized.
