28. Additional polymerization studies of 4b-d performed under the following conditions: MAO/Zr = 15000 mol/mol, 70 °C in liquid propylene for 1 h resulted in polypropylene with [mm] triads of 57, 25, and 91%, respectively. The respective GPC molecular weights were 40 000, 22 000, and 27 000 g/mol. Melting points of 114 and 151 °C were observed for the PP obtained using 4b and 4d, respectively. No melting point was observed for PP obtained using 4c.
