摘要:
Substantially random ethylene copolymers containing at least 3.0 mole percent of geminally disubstituted olefin monomers are described. The geminally disubstituted olefin monomers can be represented by the generic formula R.sub.1 =R.sub.2 (R.sub.3)(R.sub.4), where R.sub.1 is CH.sub.2, R.sub.2 is C, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are, independently, essentially linear hydrocarbyl groups having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, or more, and containing one carbon atom bound directly to R.sub.2. The copolymers can be prepared by coordination polymerization by means of contacting at least one geminally disubstituted olefin monomer and ethylene, optionally with one or more other coordination polymerizable monomers, with a catalyst system comprising a monocyclopentadienyl, heteroatom-containing Group 4 transition metal catalyst component.

This invention relates to a series of novel late transition metal catalysts for olefin oligomerization, the catalysts demonstrating high activity and selectivity for linear α-olefins. The catalysts contain a Group-8, -9, or -10 transition metal, M, excluding palladium; an ancillary ligand comprising: a terminal amine comprising two independently selected hydrocarbyl radicals, R1 and R2; a terminal phosphine comprising two independently selected hydrocarbyl radicals, R3 and R4; and a hydrocarbyl bridge, Y, comprising a backbone wherein the hydrocarbyl bridge connects between the terminal amine and the terminal phosphine and wherein the backbone comprises a chain that is four or more carbon atoms long; and an abstractable ligand, X. For example this invention relates to a composition of matter with the following formula: wherein M, R1, R2, R3, and R4, Y, and X are as defined above.
