30. The preliminary X-ray structure of M4 indicates that it also crystallizes in the rac conformation with both enantiomers in the unit cell. Unfortunately, disorder in the crystal structure prevents a more detailed comparison of the structures.
31. The presence of some of the free ligand in the sample of metallocene M3 may have resulted in an underestimation of the productivity of this catalyst.
32. The broad molecular weight distributions appear to be a general trend for unbridged 2-arylindene catalysts that yield polymers of intermediate isotacticity. For the polymers reported here, the GPC traces are monomodal for all catalysts except M2, which shows a shoulder on the high-molecular-weight end of the distribution. The origin of these broad molecular weight distributions is not clear but is the subject of ongoing investigations,
