Question 3-3. Draw the structure of C.

Answer 3-3. C2n-1-alkane and an empty orbital on Zr → Ethylene forms a coordinate bond with the empty d orbital of Zr → C2n+1-alkane and an empty orbital on Zr

Question 3-4. Explain the two steps through which A and B are formed by coordination polymerization, comparing them with free-radical polymerization.

Answer 3-4. The radical polymerization of ethylene proceeds as follows. In radical polymerization, a radical containing an unpaired electron moves, a radical initiator is required (a considerable amount of energy is needed because the alkene π bond must be broken), and the reaction can be readily terminated when radicals combine. In contrast, in ethylene coordination polymerization, an electron pair moves, the process is a rearrangement reaction, and the reaction is not readily terminated as long as the catalyst and reactant are present.

Answer 4-1. Overall Wilkinson catalyst reaction : It can be understood as a hydrogenation reaction.

① Since 1 equivalent of hydrogen is provided, the less sterically hindered alkene will react.
