Abstract

Polypropylenes obtained with the homogeneous racemic ethylene bis(indenyl) zirconium dichloride/methyl‐aluminoxane catalyst were fractionated by solvent extraction. The IR absorbance ratios, A998/A973 and A841/A973, were found to vary linearly with the homosteric sequence population, [m m m m] and [m m]. These results are compared with the results of a similar study by Burfield and Loi on commercial and laboratory polypropylenes of the conventional types.
