Abstract: The kinetics of butadiene polymerization with a soluble rare earth catalyst(Nd(OCt)3-HAl(i-Bu)2-CH2=CHCH2Cl) has been studied. The experimental results showed that the rate of polymerization is first order in both the concentrations of monomer and neodymium compound, but is 1/3 order in the concentration of diisobutyl aluminum hydride. The number of active center and the apparent activation energy and the propagation activation energy of butadiene polymerization were determined.
