SUBSTITUTED INDENYL CONTAINING METAL COMPLEXES AND OLEFIN POLYMERIZATION PROCESS

摘要

Group 4 metal complexes comprising an indenyl group substituted in the 2 or 3 position with at least one group selected from hydrocarbyl, perfluoro substituted hydrocarbyl, silyl, germyl and mixtures thereof, said indenyl group further being covalently bonded to the metal by means of a divalent ligand group, catalytic derivatives thereof and their use as olefin polymerization catalysts are disclosed.
