Introducing ethylene units into polybutadiene backbones is an approach to synthesize advanced rubber materials, which has been a research challenge because of distinct polymerization mechanisms of the two monomers. To date, onlytrans‐1,4‐ and 1,2‐regulated copolymers have been obtained. Herein, we reported the unprecedentedcis‐1,4 selective copolymerization of ethylene and butadiene by using the thiophene‐fused cyclopentadienyl‐ligated scandium complexes. The effects of the sterics and electronics of the catalytic precursors as well as the monomer loading mode on the activity and selectivity as well as the sequence lengths were investigated, and the mechanism was elucidated. Thus a novel ethylene‐based rubber material possessing a high molecular weight, 80 %cis‐1,4 regularity and aTg=−94 °C without an obvious melting point owing to short polyethylene sequences even at its content up to 45 mol %, was isolated. This new rubber material exhibited excellent anti‐flowing performance and strong tensile strength.
