PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SUBSTANTIALLY AMORPHOUS PROPYLENE-BASED POLYMERS

摘要

A process for producing substantially amorphous propylene (co)polymers, comprising contacting propylene optionally in the presence of one or more olefins under polymerization conditions with a catalyst system comprising: A) a half sandwich titanium complex wherein the cyclopentadienyl is substituted with one or two heterocyclic rings; according to formula (I): cf formula (I) in claim 1: wherein X is N or P; Z is C, Si or Ge; Y<1> is an atom selected from the group consisting of NR<7>, O, PR<7> or S; Y<2> is selected from the group consisting of CR<8> or Y<1> and m is 0 or 1 and B) an activating cocatalyst. The above titanium complex and the ligand useful as intermediates in their synthesis are also described.
