Chromium complexes with N , N , N ‐tridentate ligands, LCrCl 3 (L = 2,6‐bis{(4S)‐(−)‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazolin‐2‐yl}pyridine ( 1 ), 2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine ( 2 ), and 4,4′,4″‐tri‐ tert ‐butyl‐2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine ( 3 )), were prepared. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by X‐ray crystallography. Upon activation with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), 1 catalyzed the polymerization of 1,3‐butadiene, while 2 and 3 was inactive. The obtained poly(1,3‐butadiene) obtained with 1 ‐MMAO was found to have completely trans ‐1,4 structure. The 1 ‐MMAO system also showed catalytic activity for the polymerization of isoprene to give polyisoprene with trans ‐1,4 (68%) and cis ‐1,4 (32%) structure.
