2. The steric effect played by the ligands on the cyclopentadienyl ring was seen to influence on the grafted content: less Zr was immobilized on silica using
n-Bu as ligand, as compared to the zirconocene that uses Me as ligand. Nevertheless, this catalyst was the most active both in homogeneous and supported copolymerizations. Copolymers were characterized with respect to their molecular weights, polydispersity (
