Two multi-nuclear titanium complexes [Ti（η^5-Cp^＊）Cl（μ-O）]3 （1） and [（η^5-Cp^＊TiCl）（μ-O）2（η^5-Cp^＊Ti）2（μ- O）（μ-O）2]2Ti （Cp^＊ = C5Me5） （2） have been investigated as the precatalysts for syndiospecific polymerization of styrene. In the presence of modified methylaluminoxane （MMAO） as a cocatalyst, complexes 1 and 2 display much higher catalytic activities towards styrene polymerization, and produce the higher molecular weight polystyrenes with higher syndiotacticities and melting temperatures （Tm） than the mother complex Cp^＊TiCl3 does when the polymerization temperature is above 70℃ and the Al/Ti molar ratio is in the low range especially.
