Abstract: Process for the preparation of N-alkyl substituted metal carbamate solutions characterized in that a water solution of the salt of the metal of which the corresponding carbamate is to be obtained, is reacted with an organic solution, basically consisting of an aprotic solvent and a secondary amine, saturated with carbon dioxide.The above solutions can be used as catalysts in polymerization reactions of unsaturated monomers or for supporting metals on inorganic oxides.

Abstract: The preparation and use of organometallic complexes of Group III metals having the formula:Me(Ar)(AlX.sub.3 R).sub.3 (I)wherein Me, Ar, X and R are as defined herein, to stereospecifically polymerize unsaturated monomers is provided.

Abstract: A catalytic system to polymerize diolefinic monomers consists of a lanthanide salt, an organometallic compound of a metal belonging to groups I, II and III of the periodic table of elements and an organometallic compound of boron. The polymers obtained are characterized in that they have a high degree of 1,4 chain units and ratio between 1.4-cis/1,4-trans units which can vary as desired, and also a narrow molecular weight distribution.
