23. ββ carbon has been also reported in the literature (ref 11) for E/Y copolymers from a metallocene-based catalytic system (TBI). Copolymers reported in this work from CG- and EBTHI-based catalytic systems show for the first time the contemporary presence of both peaks. This aspect is elsewhere investigated and discussed (ref 14).
