Abstract: Treatment of scandium tris(alkyl)s, Sc(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2, with 2-Me-C6H4NHPPh2=NC6H2-2,4,6-Me3(NPNArH) via deprotonation affords the bis(alkyl) derivative[NPNAr]Sc(CH2SiMe3)2(THF). The complex structure was characterized by means of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex activated with [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] and AliBu3 exhibited highly catalytic activity to the polymerization of butadiene. The 1,2-selectivity of polybutadiene noticeably increased with decrease of temperature. The molecular mass is 2.95 ×104 and the molecular mass distribution(Mw/Mn) is 1.65 at -75 ℃.

Key words: butadiene, selectivity, catalytic activity
