Catalyst precursor and olefin polymerization processes

摘要

Catalyst precursor compounds having both (i) a polydentate ligand which comprises a cyclic moiety as well as a heteroatom and (ii) a protected hydride/hydrocarbyl ligand bonded to a metal atom, as well as olefin polymerization catalyst systems based thereupon, polymerization processes using such catalyst systems and polymers produced thereby.
