Abstract

By treating cyclodextrin(CD) with methylaluminoxane (MAO such as PMAO or MMAO) or trimethylaluminium (TMA) followed by Cp2ZrCl2, CD/PMAO/Cp2ZrCl2, CD/MMAO/Cp2ZrCl2 and CD/TMA/Cp2ZrCl2 catalysts were prepared. The catalysts were analyzed by 13C‐CP/MAS NMR spectrometer and ICP to examine the structure of catalyst and content of Zr and Al. Ethylene polymerization was conducted with MAO or TMA as cocatalyst. Styrene polymerization was also carried out with α‐CD/MMAO/Cp*TiCl3 and α‐CD/TMA/Cp*TiCl3 catalysts. While the ordinary trialkylaluminium such as TMA as well as MAO can be used as cocatalyst for ethylene polymerization, only MAO could initiate the styrene polymerization with α‐CD supported catalysts.
