Abstract: The present invention refers to a process for overcoming the problem of formation of oligomeric-polymeric complexes during preparation of cyclopentadienyl metallocenes comprising ligands bridged by at least three carbon atoms. According to the invention a process is presented comprising the steps of deprotonating a biscyclopentadienyl ligand bridged by a chain having a backbone of at least three carbon atoms by a base and reacting the deprotonated ligand with at least one alkali or alkaline earth metal alkylating agent and a salt of a transition metal belonging to group 3, 4, 5, 6 or to the lanthanide or actinide groups of the Periodic Table of the Elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for recycling cyclopentadienyl derivatives of the formulae (I) and (I?), a process for preparing metallocenes of the formula (III) from cyclopentadienyl derivatives of the formulae (I) and (I?) or from bridged biscyclopentadienyl derivatives of the formula (II), in which the cyclopentadienyl derivatives of the formulae (I), (I?) or (II) which are used have been at least partly recovered and purified by means of liquid-solid chromatography, and the use of liquid-solid chromatography for purifying substituted, recovered cyclopentadienyl derivatives of the formulae (I), (I?) or (II).

Abstract: A method of preparing supported catalysts useful for olefin polymerization is described. The catalysts comprise a Group 4 metal complex that incorporates a tridentate dianionic ligand. An activator mixture is first made from a boron compound having Lewis acidity and an excess of an alumoxane. The activator mixture is then combined with a support and the Group 4 metal complex to give a supported catalyst. The method provides an active, supported catalyst capable of making high-molecular-weight polyolefins.

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.
