Abstract: Three η3-allyl-rare earth complexes were synthesized by reacting anhydrous lanthanide trichloride with CH2=C(CH3)-CH2MgCl at 1:2 molar ratio in tetrahydrofuran. The complexes with the general formula (η3-2-CH3-C3H4)2LnCl5Mg2(tmed)2(Ln=La, Ce, and Nd)were characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and MS. These complexes can polymerize styrene and isoprene, giving atactic polystyrene and equal binary polyisoprene respectively.

Key words: allyl-rare earth complex, styrene, isoprene, polymerization
