Monocyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride (CpTiCl 3 ) was directly immobilized on silica surface. The resulting CpTiCl 3 /SiO 2 ‐MAO was investigated in view of its suitability for syndiospecific polymerization of styrene using ESR spectroscopy. Polymerization results show that both the syndiotacticity and the activity decrease upon immobilization. A possible explanation is that the active sites may become aspecific after immobilization and part of the immobilized active sites can be leached into the solution in the presence of MAO.
