Abstract

X-ray studies revealed a strongtrans-influence in titanium tetrachloride-ethyl benzoate complexes. From FTIR spectra, a very strong complexation is found in a 2∶1 complex and in a surface complex on magnesium chloride supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts. In both cases the ester is proposed to betrans to a bridging chlorine.
