Title: An ab initio MO study on ethylene and propylene insertion into the Ti-CH{sub 3} bond in CH{sub 3}TiCl{sub 2}{sup +} as a model of homogeneous olefin polymerization

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Chemical Society

Ab initio MO calculations were used to model the mechanism of ethylene and propylene insertion into CH{sub 3}TiCl{sub 2}{sup +}. Structures along the reaction coordinate were optimized according to the RHF/3-21G (Ti:MIDI4) method. These structures are reported and related to the reaction mechanism. 50 refs., 12 figs., 7 tabs.
