Popis: The new group IV complexes ((CH3)3CCOCHCONEt2)2Ti(OMe)2 (3), ((CH3)3CCOCHCONMe2)2Ti(OMe)2 (4), (CH3COCHCONMe2)2Ti(OC(CH3)3)2 (5), and ((CH3)3CCOCHCONEt2)2ZrCl2 (6) were synthesized and characterized. The titanium dialkoxide complexes 3−5 were produced during the attempts to synthesize the corresponding titanium diamido complexes via an intramolecular metathesis. A mechanism for the intramolecular metathesis is presented. Complexes 3 and 4 exhibit dynamic behavior in solution as a function of temperature. This dynamic behavior is due to a disconnection and recoordination of the β-ketoamidate chelating ligands through the weaker Ti−O bond, resulting in the formation of different octahedral stereoisomers in solution. Complexes 3−6, activated with MAO, were found to be active in the polymerization of propylene, producing elastomeric polypropylene. The elastomeric properties of the polymers obtained using complex 3 as catalyst are due to a dynamic interconversion between two C2-symmetric enantiomeric structure...
