  • Patent number: 8158733
    Abstract: Catalysts useful for polymerizing olefins are disclosed. The catalysts comprise an activator and a Group 4 metal complex that incorporates a dianionic, tridentate 2-(2-aryloxy)quinoline or 2-(2-aryloxy)dihydroquinoline ligand. In one aspect, supported catalysts are prepared by first combining a boron compound having Lewis acidity with excess alumoxane to produce an activator mixture, followed by combining the activator mixture with a support and the tridentate, dianionic Group 4 metal complex. The catalysts are easy to synthesize, support, and activate, and they enable facile production of high-molecular-weight polyolefins.

  • Patent number: 8084385
    Abstract: Catalysts useful for polymerizing olefins are disclosed. The catalysts comprise an activator and a bridged cyclopentadienyl complex that incorporates a monoanionic hydroxylamido or hydrazido ligand fragment. Suitable complexes have the structure: wherein M is a Group 4 metal; Z is a divalent linking group; X is N or O; each of R1 and R2 is independently C1-C4 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl; R1 and R2 can be joined together; n is 0 when X is O, and n is 1 when X is N; each Y is independently halide, alkyl, dialkylamido, aryl, or aralkyl. A modeling approach is used to identify particular valuable complexes, each of which incorporates a readily synthesized cyclopentadienyl precursor.

  • Publication number: 20110294972
    Abstract: The invention relates to transition metal complexes comprising a metal of group 3, 4, or 6 of the Periodic Table of the Elements and one, or two mono-anionic triazole ligands It has been found that these transition metal complexes which comprise at least one triazole fragment having a substituent with an unsaturated fragment are suitable as precatalysts for the polymerization of olefins. In these complexes one carbon atom of the unsaturated fragment is bound directly or via a bridge to a triazole group and the other carbon atom is bound to the transition metal. The complexes are useful as catalysts for olefin polymerization, a catalyst system comprising these complexes and a process for the polymerization of olefins under the use of the catalyst system.
