METALLOCENE COMPOUNDS, PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION, AND THEIR USE IN CATALYSTS FOR THE POLYMERIZATION OF OLEFINS

摘要

A class of metallocene compounds having two cyclopentadienyl rings bridged by an alkylidene group is disclosed. These metallocene compounds can be suitably used as catalyst components for the polymerization of olefins. In particular, by polymerising propylene in the presence of a catalyst based on these metallocene compounds, polymers having very high isotactic indexes, high molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions can be obtained in high yields.
