51. A comparison of the relative activity of 1 and 2 and polymer quality, was obtained by carrying out two simultaneous polymerization experiments by using 5 mM solution of the catalyst, a V/A1 = 60 and ethylene P = 1 atm. The two systems produced respectively 6.1 and 6.3 g of polymer in a 20 min run. The polymer quality was also very comparable.
