Abstract: 1-Butene was polymerized using novel mono-(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) tribenzyloxy titanium Cp*Ti(OBz)3/modified methylaluminoxane(mMAO)as catalyst. The resulting multi stereoblock polybutene-1 was characterized by 13CNMR and DSC analysis. The influences of various oxidation state of titanium active species on1butene polymerization were investigated. It was indicated that Ti(Ⅳ) active species is in favour of producing polybutene-1. 13CNMR analyses of polymers obtained show that propagation of 1-butene involves primarily head to tail 1,2-insertions, with involving some head to head or tial to tail 2,1-misinsertions. There is a remarkable decrease in 2,1-misinsertions with decreasing temperature of polymerization. Regiopentad distribution indicates stereoblock polybutene-1 with melting temperature(Tm) comprising isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic multi sequences polybutene-1.
