Popis: Ethylene polymerization was conducted with a catalyst prepared by mixing 2,6-bis{1-[2,6-(diisopropylphenyl)imino]ethyl}pyridine iron dichloride, Mg(C2H5)(n-C4H9) and Al(C2H5)1.5Cl1.5 in the presence of common alkylaluminium as cocatalyst. Both the activity and the molecular weight of polymers produced were markedly dependent upon the polymerization temperature. The end-group analysis of polymers showed that the molecular weight of polymers produced at higher temperature was reduced by chain transfer with Al(C2H5)3 in addition to β-hydrogen elimination.
