  • Patent number: 6278009
    Abstract: It is shown metallocenes with functionalized bridge of formula wherein M represents a transition metal of groups 3, 4, 5 or 6, L represents cyclopentadienyl-type ligands, Y represents a halogen and which can own one or various bridges between unities L. At least one of these bridges is functionalized through a group constituted by the union between a halogen atom and a silicon, germanium or tin atom. It is also shown a method for the synthesis of these metallocene compounds starting from the corresponding metallic halure and a precursor of the ligand which has leaving groups. These metallocene compounds are used as catalyst precursors for the homopolymerization and copolymerization of olefins. It is also shown methods for supporting these metallocenes on inorganic solids in order to obtain solid catalyst systems for olefins polymerization processes in a heterogeneous phase.

  • Patent number: 5824620
    Abstract: This invention is related to a method for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts, useful for the production of poliolefins. The method is characterized because said catalysts are obtained by supporting onto solids soluble metallocenes possessing one or more functional groups. Said functional groups are characterized because they can react with other reactive groups on the surface of the solids. The reactive groups on the solids can be part of said solids or incorporated by means of chemical modification. These catalyst systems are especially appropiated for the polymerization of one or several 1-olefins having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms in their chain. Further, they are especially appropiated for the copolymerization of ethylene with 1-olefins having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms in their chains. These polymerization processes can be carried out in gas-phase slurry or solution, at high temperatures and pressures.
