More than 30 years after the discovery of transition metals and
organometal lics as catalysts for olefin polymerization these
catalysts did not have lost their fascination. Since 1953 when Karl
Ziegler has discovered the catalytic polymerization of ethylene
leading to plastically formable polymers which are mechanically
stable up to temperatures of about 100 DegreesC, synthetic polymers
and rubbers have made their way right into private houses. This
discovery has been a main impetus for the fast growing production
of plastics. The stereoselective poly merization of propylene and
other long-chain a-olefins first detected by Giulio Natta leads to
an even broadened field of applications. Another enforcing factor
were the developments of Standard Oil of Indiana and Phillipps
Petroleum Company who engaged in the polymerization of a-olefins
supported molybdenum, cobalt and later on chromium catalysts which
clearly indicates the wide variety of suitable systems. This kind
of research acknowledged merit when in 1963 the Nobel prize of
chemistry was awarded to Ziegler and Natta. Although to a great
extent there is a technical application for these catalysts, up to
now the nature of the active centres and many reaction mechanisms
are not completely known.
