摘要 |
The invention relates to a polymerization catalyst system comprising a catalytic complex formed by activating a transition metal compound which comprises a metal selected from group 3 through 10 of the periodic table, preferably from group 4, 5, or 6 of the periodic table, and a group 13, 15, or 16 heterocyclic fused cyclopentadienide ligand. In one embodiment the inventive transition metal compound is represented by the ¢L!mM¢A!n(S)o wherein M is a transition metal selected from grups 3 through 10 of the periodic table, and at least one of L is group 13, 15, or 16 heterocyclic fused cyclopentadienide ligand. Also disclosed is a polymerization process utilizing the catalyst systems of the invention. Ethylene polymerizations or copolymerizations with dimethyl (5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(1-azaindenyl) zirconium and bis(5-methyl-cyclopenta¢b!thiophene) zirconium dichloride, activated by tris(pentafluorophenyl) boron and methylalumoxane, respectively, are illustrated.
