Diisopropylamido bisindenyl lanthanides(C9H7)2LnN(i-Pr)2(Ln=Gd(1),Y(2),Er(3))were successfully synthesized in satisfied yield by the reaction of Ln(N(i-Pr)2)3(THF)with indene in 1:2 molar ratio in toluene.All of the complexes exhibit very high catalytic activity in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate.The resulting polymers have narrow molecular weight distributions and high syndiotacticity.
