Abstract
3‐Methyl‐1‐butene was polymerized in the presence of a number of homogeneous metallocene catalysts (co‐catalyst methylalumoxane). Contrary to literature reports, it was found that even the simplest C2‐symmetric metallocenes promote the isotactic polymerization of this monomer with reasonable productivities. Quite surprisingly, a prevailingly isotactic polymer was also obtained in the presence of Cs‐symmetric metallocenes, which are instead syndiotactic‐specific in propene polymerization.Keywords
