The present article proposes a simple way to dramatically alter the pore architecture of Mg(OEt) 2 -based Ziegler-Natta catalysts by the addition of a small amount of i-propanol the synthesis of Mg(OEt) 2 . The incorporated i-propoxide distorts the crystalline structure of Mg(OEt) 2 , finally causing the phase transformation and significant densification of particles. Such modifications completely alternate the pore architecture of resultant catalysts, which contribute to the design of catalytic properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
