Abstract: The title complex was prepared by the reaction of(t-BuCp)2YCl in THFwith ether solution of CH3Li at -78℃. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex [(t-BuCp)2YCH3]2 was used as a catalyst for polymerization of MMA and the influence of polymerization conditions on its catalytic activity was investigated.

Key words: yttrium complex, synthesis, catalytic activity, methyl methacrylate
