Ferrocene as a polimerization catalyst?

battoussai114 - 2-8-2015 at 12:14

Just curious, a while ago I read about production of high molecular weight polymers by metallocene catalyzed polimerization, but most experiments I've seem use either zircocene or titanocene as the catalyst, but these aren't easily available while ferrocene is sold on ebay by a chinese company. So I'm just curious as if any of you head of ferrocene being used as catalyst or maybe some methods for substituting the iron with zirconium or titanium ions.
