Abstract: This invention relates to a process to polymerize olefin(s) comprising combining a solution, slurry or solid comprising one or more bulky ligand metallocene catalyst compounds, an optional support, and or one or more activator(s) with a solution comprising one or more phenoxide catalyst compounds, and thereafter, introducing one or more olefin(s) and the combination into a polymerization reactor. This invention also relates to a polymer of ethylene wherein the polymer has a density of 0.910 to 0.930 g/cc, a melt index of 0.3 to 2.0 dg/min, and a 15 to 35 &mgr;m thick film of the polymer has a 45° gloss of 60 or more, a haze of 7% or less, and a dart impact of 600 g or more.

Abstract: The invention provides new olefin(s) polymerization catalyst systems, including controlled pore glass support.

Abstract: A catalyst precursor is provided which is useful, when combined with a cocatalyst, in the manufacture of polyolefins. The catalyst precursor is of the formula: ##STR1## where M is a transition metal, preferably Zr or Hf; L is a substituted or unsubstituted, .pi. bonded ligand coordinated to M, preferably a cyclopentadienyl-type ligand; Q can be the same or different and is independently selected from the group consisting of --O, --NR, --CR.sub.2 and --S; Y is either C or S; Z is selected from the group consisting of --OR, --NR.sub.2, --CR.sub.3, --SR, --SiR.sub.3, --PR.sub.

Abstract: This invention relates to asymmetric syntheses in which a prochiral or chiral compound is contacted in the presence of an optically active metal-ligand complex catalyst to produce an optically active product.
