Abstrakt: Ethylene copolymerisation with 2-allylphenol (AP, pretreated with AliBu3) catalysed by Cp*TiCl2(O-2,6-iPr2-4-R-C6H2) (R = SiEt3, SiiPr3) gave rather high molecular weight copolymers containing a phenolic moiety (Mn= 9300–32 500 g mol−1, AP up to 11.7 mol%) with uniform compositions (observed as a sole melting temperature from the DSC thermogram). The catalysts containing trialkylsilyl substituted phenoxide ligands were effective in the copolymerisation; pretreatment of AP with AliBu3and 2,6-tBu2C6H3OH was effective for obtaining the copolymers with high catalytic activity and efficient AP incorporation.
