Abstract: Provided are a novel transition metal complex where a monocyclopentadienyl ligand to which an amido group is introduced is coordinated, a catalyst composition including the same, and an olefin polymer using the catalyst composition. The transition metal complex has a pentagon ring structure having an amido group connected by a phenylene bridge in which a stable bond is formed in the vicinity of a metal site, and thus, a sterically hindered monomer can easily approach the transition metal complex. By using a catalyst composition including the transition metal complex, a linear low density polyolefin copolymer having a high molecular weight and a very low density polyolefin copolymer having a density of 0.910 g/cc or less can be produced in a polymerization of monomers having large steric hindrance. Further, the reactivity for the olefin monomer having large steric hindrance is excellent.

Abstract: Provided is catalyst composition including a transition metal complex precatalyst represented by Formula 1; a first cocatalyst represented by Formula 2 which is an alkylaluminum compound; and a second cocatalyst represented by Formula 3 which is a salt compound comprising a Bronsted acid cation and a noncoordinating, compatible anion. Here, R1, R2, R3, R4, E, Q1, Q2 and M are defined in the specification. Al(R6)3??Formula 2 Here, R6 is defined in the specification. [L-H]+[ZA4]???Formula 3 Here, L, [L-H]+, Z and A are defined in the specification. A catalyst composition including binuclear transition metal complexes, an alkylaluminum compound, and a salt compound including a Bronsted acid cation, and a noncoordinating, compatible anion, and a method of preparing the catalyst composition are provided.
