Abstract:
The invention relates to a metallocene complex according to formula (1) wherein M is a metal selected from lanthanides or transition metals from group 3, 4, 5 or 6 of the Periodic System of the Elements, Q is an anionic ligand to M, k is the number of Q groups and equals the valence of M minus 2, Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 are identical or different and can be chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydrocarbon radical with 1-20 carbon atoms, and adjacent substituents Z can form a ring system together with the carbon atoms of the Cp ring to which they are bound.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a metallocene complex according to formula (1) M is a metal selected from lanthanides or transition metals from group 3, 4, 5 or 6 of the Periodic System of the Elements, Q is an anionic ligand to M, k is the number of Q groups and equals the valence of M minus 2, X is a cyclic bridging group that is bonded to a carbon atom of the cyclopentadienyl ligand and to nitrogen, Z 1 and Z 4 are identical or different and can be chosen from hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical with 1-20 carbon atoms; Z 2 and Z 3 are connected to form an indenyl or tetrahydroindenyl ring system and R is chosen from hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical with 1-20 carbon atoms. Also claimed are compositions comprising the metallocene complex, a process for the preparation, a process for the polymerization of olefin polymers in the presence of the metallocene complex. A more specific embodiment of the above Markush formula is formula (5).
