  • Patent number: 8344081
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transition metal complex useful as a transition metal catalyst in the preparation of an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and an ?-olefin, a catalyst composition comprising the same and a process of preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and an ?-olefin using the same. More particularly, it relates to a transition metal complex having a cyclopentadiene derivative and at least one phenyl oxide ligand substituted at the 2-position of phenyl with, for example, a silyl group having a C1-C30 hydrocarbon group or a C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, around a group IV transition metal, with no crosslinkage between the ligands, a catalyst composition comprising the transition metal complex and a cocatalyst selected from the group consisting of an aluminoxane and a boron compound, and a process for preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and an ?-olefin using the same.

  • Patent number: 7589042
    Abstract: Disclosed is an arylphenoxy catalyst system for producing an ethylene homopolymer or copolymers of ethylene and ?-olefins, and a method of producing an ethylene homopolymer or copolymers of ethylene and ?-olefins having a high molecular weight under a high temperature solution polymerization condition using the same. The catalyst system includes a group 4 arylphenoxy-based transition metal catalyst and an aluminoxane cocatalyst or a boron compound cocatalyst. In the transition metal catalyst, a cyclopentadienyl derivative and arylphenoxide as fixed ligands are located around the group 4 transition metal, arylphenoxide is substituted with at least one aryl derivative and is located at the ortho position thereof, and the ligands are not crosslinked to each other. The catalyst includes non-toxic raw materials, synthesis of the catalyst is economical, and thermal stability of the catalyst is excellent.
