Abstract: ESR spectra of zirconium in ZrCl4/AlEt2Cl and ZrCl4/AlEt2Cl-n-C4H9ONa catalystsystems were recorded at various reaction times, the g=1.978, △Hpp=22.4×10-4T. The spin concentration s were determined for two systems. It is shown that Zr4+is first reduced to Zr3+, which is further reduced to lower state. The reduction rate of Zr4+and Zr3+ in ZrCl4/AlEt2Cl-n-C4H9ONa system is lower than that in ZrCl4/AlEt2Cl system.This fact indicates that n-C4H9ONa plays an importent rolc in restraining reduction of Zr4+ and Zr3+.
