A catalyst activator particularly adapted for use in the activation of metal complexes of metals of Group 3-10 for polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers, especially olefins, comprising: a composition comprising a mixture of aluminum containing Lewis acids said mixture corresponding to the formula: [(-AlQ<1>-O-)z (-AlAr<f>-O-)z'](Ar<f>z''Al2Q<1>6-z'') where Q<1> independently each occurrence is selected from C1-20 alkyl; Ar<f> is a fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbyl moiety of from 6 to 30 carbon atoms; z is a number from 1 to 50, preferably from 1.5 to 40, more preferably from 2 to 30, and the moiety (-AlQ<1>-O-) is a cyclic or linear oligomer with a repeat unit of 2-30; z' is a number from 1 to 50, preferably from 1.5 to 40, more preferably from 2 to 30, and the moiety (-AlAr<f>-O-) is a cyclic or linear oligomer with a repeat unit of 2-30; and z'' is a number from 0 to 6, and the moiety (Ar<f>z''Al2Q<1>6-z'') is either tri(fluoroarylaluminum), trialkylaluminum, or an adduct of tri(fluoroarylaluminum) with a sub-stoichiometric to super-stoichiometric amount of a trialkylaluminum. |
