Recently,the agostic interactionofalkylgroup(s)ontransitionmetalshas emerged as highly basic and new concept and is found to be important in understandingthemechanismofthemetal-catalyzedhomogeneousoligomer- ation and polymerization of a-ole ns. Early transition metal alkyl complexes generallyhavepartiallyionicM--C bondsandshowa-agostichydrogeninter- tion that somewhat stabilizes the catalytically active species by providing el- tronsatavacantsite onthe metal.Thisisinsharp contrasttothefactthatlate transition metal alkyl complexes show mainly b-agostic hydrogen interaction that causes the hydrogen transfer easily through b-hydrogen elimination and reductive elimination, and that gives rise to the oligomerization of ole ns. Organometalliccomplexesoftheearlyandlatetransitionmetalshavebeenused as catalysts for ole n oligomerization and polymerization. The mechanism involved in these catalyst systems depends very much upon the kind of metal centersaswellastheirco-ligands,andthusthedi?erentmechanismswhichcan bedistinguishedbydetailedinvestigationsshouldbeassumedforearlyandlate transition metal catalysts. In this contribution, we review the mechanism of polymerization and oligomerization involving early transition metals, taking as our basis recent resultsinadvancedorganometallicchemistry.Firstofall,somerecentexamples of the previous reviews concerning the Ziegler-Natta polymerization are cited [1--10]. Then, relevant new reports are surveyed in a systematic fashion.
