Substituted polycyclic, fused ring compounds, metal complexes and polymerization process

摘要

Metal complexes comprising a polycyclic, fused ring ligand or inertly substituted derivative thereof comprising at least: (1) a cyclopentadienyl ring, (2) a 7 membered polyatomic ring, and (3) one or more aromatic ring systems, with the proviso that said 7 membered ring (2), is fused to both the cyclopentadienyl ring (1), and said one or more aromatic ring systems (3), and substituted in at least one ring position with a substituent group resulting in sp<2 >hybridization on the ring atom bonded thereto; polymerization catalysts; and olefin polymerization processes using the same are disclosed.
