Biscyclopentadienyl diene complexes, their preparation and catalyst compositions containing them

摘要

Biscyclopentadienyl, Group 4 transition metal complexes are formed by contacting a biscyclopentadienyl Group 4 metal halide, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy or amide complex with a conjugated diene. When combined with standard activating cocatalysts or activated with an activating technique, the complexes form catalysts for polymerizing olefins, diolefins and/or acetylenically unsaturated monomers.
