Abstract

The invention relates to a diorganomagnesium compound of formula R^B—Mg—R^A, R^B being different from R^A, R^B comprising a benzene nucleus substituted with a magnesium atom, one of the carbon atoms of the benzene nucleus ortho to the magnesium being substituted with a methyl, an ethyl, an isopropyl or forming a ring with the carbon atom which is its closest neighbour and which is meta to the magnesium, the other carbon atom of the benzene nucleus ortho to the magnesium being substituted with a methyl, an ethyl or an isopropyl, R^A being an alkyl, a cycloalkyl or a benzyl, which may be substituted or unsubstituted, which diorganomagnesium compound is other than n-butylmesitylmagnesium. When used as co-catalyst of a metallocene, it makes it possible to increase the functional group content in the synthesis of a functional polymer.
