Significantly, Chan et al. have recently reported the first NMR and X-ray structural evidence for an attractive interaction between a fluorine in the ligand and a hydrogen on a benzyl group attached to the central metal for group 4 transitionmetal complexes, potentially indicating the generality of the attractive interaction between the functionalized ligand and the polymer chain.

120. A volume of substituent was calculated as follows. The geometry of the substituent, which is capped with a hydrogen atom, was optimized using the 6-311G(d, p) basis set at the Hartree-Fock level, and its volume was calculated on the basis of the van der Waals radii of each atom. The geometry and its volume was calculated using the Spartan'02 program (Spartan'02, Wavefunction, Inc. Irvine, CA).

126. Cationic complexes described herein can take more than one configuration as a consequence of the different binding geometries of the phenoxyimine ligands. Therefore, the possibilities cannot be ruled out that a catalytically active species possesses configurations other than a trans-O and cis-N arrangement. If a catalytically active species has an octahedral geometry with a cis-O and cis-N disposition, the mechanism for the production of the syndiotactic polypropylene seems very complicated.
