Ethylene copolymerization with 1,3‐cyclohexadiene (CHD) was investigated by using methylaluminoxane (MAO) activated single‐site catalysts including bridged and non‐bridged titanium half‐sandwich and bimetallic cobalt(I) complexes. MAO activated CpTiCl 2 [NP( t Bu) 3 ] (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, t Bu = tert ‐butyl) gave high molecular weight CHD copolymers without encountering catalyst activity losses. According to the NMR microstructure investigation the resulting copolymers are highly regioregular.
