Abstract
The participation of two and three A≡ Lewis acid sites in the formation of the catalytic particle Cp*2ZrMe+A− for olefin polymerization reactions stabilizes it with respect to neutral precursor Cp*2ZrMe2 and AlMe2X, and decreases the energy of heterolysis, i.e., complete spatial separation of the ions Cp*2ZrMe+ and A−, enhancing the catalytic activity of these particles in olefin polymerization.
