SILVEIRA, Flávia D. et al. Bis(n-butylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride ((nBuCp)₂ZrCl₂) immobilization on magnesium dichloride adducts (MgCl₂.nEtOH) and its performance in ethylene homopolymerization. Polímeros [online]. 2000, vol.10, n.1, pp.42-48. ISSN 1678-5169.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-14282000000100008.

This work describes the preparation of catalysts by the immobilization of bis(n-butylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride, (nBuCp)₂ZrCl, on magnesium dichloride adducts, MgCl₂.nEtOH. The metal content on the support, which varied from 0,5 to 1,5 wt.-% Zr/MgCl₂ and the catalysts activity were dependent on the ethanol content. In the temperature immobilization range between 25 and 75°C, the highest Zr incorporation and polymerization yield were obtained with the catalyst prepared at 25°C. Based on the results obtained in this work, a series of reactions that may occur between the catalyst components during its preparation are proposed. The polyethylenes obtained were characterized by its molecular weight and polydispersivity.
