Supported modified zirconocene catalyst for ethylene polymerization

The reactivity of the silyl ether-substituted zirconocene [Zr{η5-C5H4(CH2)3OSiMe3}(η5-C5H5)Cl2] towards different supports based on dehydroxylated silica was evaluated and comparative studies with respect to the unmodified analogue [Zr(η5-C5H5)2Cl2] were performed.
