Abstract

High molecular weight syndiotactic polystyrene having greater than 96% syndiotacticity can be produced in very high yield (greater than 92%) by polymerizing styrene monomer, under rigorously anhydrous conditions, with a catalyst comprising Cp*M(CH.sub.3).sub.3, where Cp* is a single .eta..sup.5 -cyclopentadienyl or an .eta..sup.5 -cyclopentadienyl group optionally covalently bonded to M through a substituent, and M is selected from Ti, Zr, Hf and a co-catalyst comprising B(C.sub.6 F.sub.5).sub.3 dissolved in an aromatic solvent such as toluene or styrene, at carefully controlled temperatures in the range -15.degree. C. to +50.degree. C. The rapid rate of polymerization and high yield make the production of hard, rigid products by reaction injection moulding possible.
