10. Exceptions have been observed, if, for example, more than one catalytically active species is present because of conformational changes. This results in the formation of polyolefins with different molecular weights. Thus, a superposition of narrow distributions generally leads to the generation of a broad molecular weight distribution with one or more "shoulders". Sec also: a) R. Leino, H. J. G. Luttikhedde, P.
