Ethylene/butadiene copolymerization can be performed by neodymocene catalysts in the presence of an alkylating/chain transfer agent. A variety of polymerization activities and copolymer microstructures can be obtained depending on the neodymocene ligands. For a set of four catalysts, namely (CsMe5)(2)NdR, [Me2Si(3-Me3SiC5H3)(2)]NdR, [Me2Si(C5H4)(C13H8)]NdR and [Me2Si(C13H8)(2)]NdR, we report a DFT mechanistic study of this copolymerization reaction performed in the presence of dialkylmagnesium. Based on the modeling strategy developed for the ethylene homopolymerization catalyzed by (C5Me5)(2)NdR in the presence of MgR2, our model is able to account for the following: (i) the formation of Nd/Mg heterobimetallic complexes as intermediates, (ii) the overall differential activity of the catalysts, (iii) the copolymerization reactivity indexes, and (iv) the specific microstructure of the resulting copolymers, including branching and cyclization. The analysis of the reaction mechanisms and the energy profiles thus relates ligand structure, catalyst activity, and polymer microstructure and sets the basis for further catalyst developments.
