A kinetic study of a syndiospecific polymerization was performed with two kinds of catalysts: Cp*Ti(O(C 6 H 4 )CMe 2 (C 6 H 4 )O)TiCp* [bimetallic system] and Cp*Ti(OMe) 3 [monometallic system]. The purpose of this study was to determine the reasons behind the high activity of a bimetallic catalyst system. The active site structures of the two kinds of catalysts appears to be similar to the cationic Ti [III] species having η 5 ‐pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand, while the rate of the activation process of the bimetallic catalyst was found to be higher than that of the monometallic catalyst. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
