Abstract: This invention relates to mono cyclopentadienyl pyridyl hydroxyl amine catalyst compounds represented by Formula I(a) or I(b): wherein: M is a group 3-12 metal; R1 is a hydrocarbyl group or a silyl group; R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, and R10 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, alkoxy, silyl, amino, aryloxy, halogen and phosphino, wherein any two adjacent R groups may be joined to form a saturated or unsaturated single or multicyclic hydrocarbyl ring or heterocyclic ring; and each X1 and X2 is independently an anionic leaving group or X1 and X2 may be joined together to form a dianionic group.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides pyridyl hydroxyl amine catalyst compounds and systems containing the compounds. The present disclosure is also directed to polymerization processes to produce polyolefin polymers from catalyst systems including one or more olefin polymerization catalysts, at least one activator, and an optional support.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to iron-containing compounds including a 2,6-diimino(heteroaryl) ligand useful for producing substituted-cyclo-alkanes, such as vinyl cyclobutanes. The present disclosure provides new and improved iron-containing catalysts with enhanced solubility in hydrophobic (nonpolar) solvents.

Abstract: This invention relates to a composition comprising a compound having a formula of M2(CO)m(PF3)n, wherein M is a group 9 metal (such as cobalt), m is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, and the sum of m and n is 8, that may be used as a hydroformylation pre¬catalyst for converting (such as hydroformylating) olefinic feeds, especially complex feeds comprising internal olefins and high degrees of branching.

Abstract: Vinylidene olefins may undergo hydroformylation in the presence of an unmodified cobalt catalyst to form compositions comprising a mixture of alcohol molecules having a specified amount of branching. In particular, the compositions may feature a mixture comprising reduced hydroformylated reaction products of a vinylidene olefin comprising alcohol molecules represented by at least one of Structures 3-5. The mixture has an average of about 1.2 to about 2.1 branches per alcohol molecule. Ra and Rb may be the same or different and comprise a branched or unbranched alkyl group having about 6 to about 14 carbon atoms, excluding branches. Variable m is an integer ranging from 0 to a number of carbon atoms in Rb. Rb is a branched or unbranched alkyl group having m+1 carbon atoms less than Rb.
