Theaccuracy of l3C nuclear magnetic resonance(13C NMR) measurements has been examined by using 14C-labeled ethylene-propylene (EP) copolymers. The monomer compositions calculated from the methylene and methine resonances are in agreement with those determined by radioassay within a relative error of 4%. These results indicate that the NOEs are uniform, atleast for such carbons, and, therefore, the monomer sequence distributions obtained are sufficiently reliable. Monomer reactivity ratios,(ethylene) and r2 (propylene), have been calculated from the dyad distribution and the monomer feed composition. The observed triad distribution, compared with that calculated by a first-order Markovian scheme usingr¡ and r2, shows the peculiarity that ethylene tends to copolymerize either in alternation or in runs.A number of studies on monomer sequence distribution in EP copolymershave been carried out by means of 13C NMR spectroscopy, 1" 7 infrared (IR) spectroscopy, 8’9 and X-ray diffraction. 10 These investigations and the monomer reactivity ratios obtained from copolymerization data indicate that the copolymers prepared with heterogeneous titanium catalysts have a wide copolymer composition distribution. However, despite these studies, the details of the copolymerizationmechanism in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts have not been sufficiently eluci-
