Mesoporous silica-alumina functionalized with propyl sulfonic acid groups was synthesized and used as a support for MAO-(nBuCp2)ZrCl2 for the ethylene polymerization. Mesoporous silica-alumina (Si/Al = 25) functionalized with 10 wt% propyl sulfonic exhibited remarkable activity with negligible leaching, due to the presence of tetrahedral aluminum, incorporated into the framework.
