Metallocene compounds, metallocene catalysts including the compounds and methods of polymerizing olefins with the catalysts

摘要

There are disclosed new metallocene compounds and catalysts for olefin polymerization. The metallocene compound is a complex of transition metal and cyclopentadienyl-type ligands substituted with silacycloalkyl group. The metallocene catalyst comprises the above metallocene compound and at least one activator such as aluminoxanes, aromatic boron compounds substituted with fluoride, and modified clays. The metallocene catalyst can be used for polymerization of olefin in liquid phase, slurry phase or gas phase process.
