A metallocene is a compound typically consisting of two cyclopentadienyl anions bound to a metal center in the oxidation state II, with the resulting general formula (C₅H₅)₂M. Closely related to the metallocenes are the metallocene derivatives, e.g. titanocene dichloride, vanadocene dichloride.
What is meant by metallocene?
A metallocene is a compound typically consisting of two cyclopentadienyl anions (C. 5H −5. , abbreviated Cp) bound to a metal center (M) in the oxidation state II, with the resulting general formula (C5H5)2M.
What is metallocene polypropylene?
In comparison with the Ziegler–Natta-catalyzed polypropylene (PP), metallocene polypropylenes are uniform polymers with precisely controlled Mw, end groups, stereoregularity, and narrow PDI [6]. Those characters make metallocene-based iPP a great candidate for producing high-quality industrial fibers by melt spinning.
