Monocyclopentadienyl compounds, CpMCl3 (M = Ti, Zr) supported on activated MgCl2 were used for the polymerizations of ethylene in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO) or a common alkylaluminium as a cocatalyst. By supporting CpMCl3 on MgCl2, the catalyst activity was increased drastically to show high activity similar to MgCl2-supported TiCl4 catalysts. The activity of the CpZrCl3 /MgCl2 catalyst was higher than that of the CpTiCl3/MgCl2 one. Both catalysts gave polymers with high molecular weight (Mw) and broad molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) in comparison with the corresponding soluble half-metallocene catalysts.
