“…Possibly due to its size, catalytic activity declines strongly at MAO concentrations below an Al/Zr ratio of 200-300:1. [15] The sizes of the preferred MAO cages reported previously [7] are about an order of magnitude lower, hence they are unlikely to account for the structure of MAO. Instead, the presence of hundreds of Al atoms in nanotubular shapes could be a plausible explanation.…”

“…[2] The preference for four-coordinate Al À . [3] Further progress towards interpretation of polyhedral cages as the most relevant structural alternative was made in the mid-90s by Sinn [4] and Barron et al [5] Following the synthesis of [AlO-(tBu)] n cages (n = 6-9 and 12), [5] the preference for cage structures over other proposed alternatives was demonstrated by quantum chemical calculations on methyl-substituted [6,7] and unsubstituted [8] aluminoxanes. Herein, we report a HFand B3LYP-level quantum chemical study of the structures of alkylaluminoxanes.…”

“…Contudo, estudos têm mostrado que o MAO (ou a solução de MAO) é formado por compostos volumosos (AlOMe) x (TMA) y , onde x = 6, 9 e 12 e y = 1 e 2, com estruturas semelhantes a gaiolas. [30][31][32][33] O sítio ativo é composto por um par iônico formado pelo cátion metalocênico monometilado e o seu contra-íon formado pelo MAO-TMA.…”

“…Alguns pesquisadores apontam para a necessidade de geração de espécies volumosas que contenham um maior número de sítios ácidos de Lewis, necessários à ativação do metaloceno. 33,39 A desativação do complexo catiônico ativo pode ocorrer via uma reação bimolecular, principalmente quando o metaloceno não está imobilizado sobre um suporte. Reações com impurezas presentes no meio reacional também podem levar à desativação do complexo ativo.…”
