A kind of new lanthanocene complex with an ansa carbonous‐bridged cyclopentadienyl/aromatic heterocycle ligand was prepared and characterized. Based on the data of elemental analyses, MS and IR, they were presumed to be solvent‐free complexes (cyclo‐C 4 H 3 SCMe 2 C 5 H 4 ) 2 LnCl [Ln = Er (1), Dd ( 2 ), Y ( 3 ), Sm ( 4 )]. These complexes were effective for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of co‐catalyst. When AlEt 3 and NaH (nanometric) were used as different co‐catalysts, the lanthanocene complexes 1–4 showed different catalytic behavior. These differences resulted from the formation of different active species. The catalyst system (cyclo‐C 4 H 3 SCMe 2 C 5 H 4 ) 2 LnCl/NaH (nanometric) showed high catalytic activity (yield ≥ 95% and M η > 10 5 ) in a short time at the ambient temperature.
