Summary This study employed the 13C-NMR spectroscopy to investigate the influence of the increase of the comonomer concentration on the microstruture of ethylene/1-hexene and ethylene/1-octene copolymers obtained by the use of MeSiCp2ZrCl2, Cp2ZrCl2, Et[Ind]2ZrCl2 and [Ind]2ZrCl2 catalysts. For both comonomers butyl or hexyl branches were isolated between ethylene blocks. As the α-olefin concentration in the copolymer increased, butyl or hexyl branches became closer, some of them, separated by only one or two ethylene units. Incorporation of α-olefin in the copolymer was higher for the bridged catalysts, MeSiCp2ZrCl2, and Et[Ind]2ZrCl2 than for the unbridged ones. The α-olefin size did not seem to effect its reactivity towards ethylene.
