    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of adjusting the molecular weight of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene prepared using an iron-based catalyst. In the present application, when an iron-based catalyst catalyzes the polymerization of butadiene to prepare syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, alpha-olefins are added as a molecular weight regulator, and a chain transfer effect is achieved through competitive adsorption. At the same time, since alpha-olefins are stable to iron-based catalysts, cannot be initiated to polymerize, and are easy to separate from butadiene, they have a significant effect on molecular weight regulation and do not have a significant effect on activity, making it possible to prepare syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene thermoplastic elastomers with number average molecular weights ranging from 3,000-250,000. The syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene rubber prepared by the present application has better processability. The present application has the advantages of low attenuation of iron-based catalyst activity, a broad range of molecular weight adjustment and facile butadiene separation.
