Abstract: To characterize the origin of living polymerization with nonmetallocene titanium-based catalysts containing o-fluoroaryl substituents, ethene polymerization by an o-fluorinated bis(enolatoimine) titanium catalyst and its nonfluorinated counterpart has been studied by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy by using methylaluminoxane (MAO) or AlMe3/CPh3B(C6F5)4 as activators. Formation of ion pairs of the type [TiL2Me][MeMAO] and [TiL2Me] [B(C6F5)4] has been observed for both catalysts. These ion pairs react with ethene to afford the chain-propagating species [TiL2P][MeMAO] and [TiL2P] [B(C6F5)4], respectively (P=growing polymeryl chain). For the o-F-substituted catalyst species of the second type, NMR spectroscopy provides evidence that the o-F substituents interact with the metal center. This interaction is proposed to keep the polymerization catalysis living by suppressing chain transfer to AlMe3 and b-hydrogen transfer processes.
