Ethylene insertion on Oh-d1CH3Tinchloride clusters/C2H4(model systems of Ziegler–Natta catalysts) and Td-d0,-d1CH3TiCp2/C2H4(model systems of metallocene catalysts) were studied by using paired interacting orbitals (PIO) analysis and LFO calculation. Electron delocalization from catalytic site to ethylene and that from ethylene to catalytic site played a crucial role in ethylene insertion. The former depends on the nucleophilicity of the active site and the latter on the electrophilicity of the active site. They were quantitatively estimated by LFO calculation. In the case of Ohsystems, the electrophilicity of the catalyst decreased because of the Cl anion located trans to the ethylene in the reaction plane. In the case of Td systems, since the electrophilicity was not weakened because of the absence of the trans ligand to the ethylene, the nucleophilicity and electrophilicity were well balanced. The Oh-d1Ti4cluster could be a suitable model of the active site on the TiCl3crystalline surface.
