Several bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)phenylamines have been synthesized and used as intal donors for the preparation of heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts for propylene polymerization. These new cata-lysts are highly active and stereospecific in combination with an extal donor for the polymerization of propylene. The activity of these catalysts is dramatically influenced by the electronic capability of the phenyl substituents on the sulfonyl phenylamines. Therefore, the performances of the catalysts can be modified by adjusting the electronic property of the phenyl substituents of the sulfonyl phenylamines.
