Abstract: Neodymium based homogeneous catalysts for the polymerization of1,3-butadiene, calixarene neodymium(C[n]NdxCly)/Al(i-Bu)3and C[n]Nd/Al(i-Bu)3/Al(i-Bu)2Cl were examined.The binary systems based on C[n]NdxClywere found to be active even in the absence of halogen source, while adding Al(i-Bu)2Cl as the third component, the catalytic activity was improved.Polymer obtained has Mvabout1×105~2×105and cis-1,4 content90%. The ternary systems based on C[n]Nd also had an activity of butadiene polymerization, the effect of different calixarenes on the catalytic activity of ternary system is in the order of C6>C4>C8
