PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CRYSTALLINE POLY-ALPHA-OLEFINS WITH A MONOCYCLOPENTADIENYL TRANSITION METAL CATALYST SYSTEM

Abstract: A catalytic process for polymerizing alphaolefins to produce high crystallinity and high molecular weight poly-alpha-olefins, using a Group IV-B transition metal component and an alumoxane component.

Description: PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CRYSTALLINE POLY-α-OLEFINS WITH A MONOCYCLOPENTADIENYL TRANSITION METAL CATALYST SYSTEM SPECIFICATION HELP or THE INVENTION This invention relates to a process for polymerizing α-olefins which utilize certain monocyclopentadienyl metal compounds of a Group IV B transition metal of the Periodic Table of Elements in an alumoxane activated catalyst system to produce crystalline poly-α-olefins, particularly polypropylene and α-olefin copolymers of propylene. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is well known, various processes and catalysts exist for the ho opolymerization or copolymerization of olefins. For many applications it is of primary importance for a polyole in to have a high weight average molecular weight while having a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution. A high weight average molecular weight, when accompanied by a narrow molecular weight distribution, provides a polyolefin with high strength properties. Traditional Ziegler-Natta catalysts systems —- a transition metal compound cocatalyzed by an aluminum alkyl — are capable of producing polyolefins having a high molecular weight but a broad molecular weight distribution. More recently a catalyst system has been developed wherein the transition metal compound has two or more cyclopentadienyl ring ligands — such transition metal compound being referred to herein as a "metallocene" — which catalyzes the production of olefin monomers to polyolefins. Accordingly, titanocenes and zirconocenes, have been utilized as the transition metal component in such "metallocene" containing catalyst system for the production of polyolefins and ethylene-o-olefin copolymers. When such etallocenes are cocatalyzed with an aluminum alkyl — as is the case with a traditional type Ziegler-Natta catalyst system — the catalytic activity of such metallocene catalyst system is generally too low to be of any commercial interest. It has since become known that such metallocenes may be cocatalyzed with an alumoxane — rather than an aluminum alkyl — to provide a metallocene catalyst system of high activity for the production of polyolefins. The zirconocenes, as cocatalyzed or activated with an alumoxane, are commonly more active than their hafnium or titanium analogous for the polymerization of ethylene alone or together with an α-olefin co onomer. When employed in a non-supported form — i.e., as a homogeneous or soluble catalyst system — to obtain a satisfactory rate of productivity even with the most active zirconocene species typically requires the use of a quantity of alumoxane activator sufficient to provide an aluminum atom to transition metal atom ratio (λl:TM) of at least greater than 1000:1; often greater than 5000:1, and frequently on the order of 10,000:1. Such quantities of alumoxane impart to a polymer produced with such catalyst systea an undesirable content of catalyst metal residue, i.e., an undesirable "ash" content (the nonvolatile metal content) . In high pressure polymerization procedures using soluble catalyst systems wherein the reactor pressure exceeds about 500 bar only the zirconium or hafnium species of metallocenes may be used. Titanium species of metallocenes are generally unstable at such high pressures unless deposited upon a catalyst support. A wide variety of Group IV B transition metal compounds have been named as possible candidates for an alumoxane cocatalyzed catalyst system. Although bis(cyclopentadienyl) Group IV B transition metal compounds have been the most preferred and heavily investigated for use in alumoxane activated catalyst systems for polyolefin production, suggestions have appeared that mono and tris(cyclopentadienyl) transition metal compounds may also be useful. See, for example U.S. Patent Nos. 4,522,982; 4,530,914 and 4,701,431. 5 Such mono(cyclopentadienyl) transitionmetal compounds as have heretofore been suggested as candidates for an alumoxane activated catalyst system are mono(cyclopenta¬ dienyl) transition metal trihalides and trialkyls. More recently, International Publication No. WO 10 87/03887 describes the use of a composition comprising a transition metal coordinated to at least one cyclopentadienyl and at least one heteroatom ligand as a transition metal component for use in an alumoxane activated catalyst system for α-olefin polymerization. 15 T e composition is broadly defined as a transition metal, preferably of Group IV B of the Periodic Table, which is coordinated with at least one cyclopentadienyl ligand and one to three heteroatom ligands, the balance of the transitionmetal coordination requirement being satis ied 20 with cyclopentadienyl or hydrocarbyl ligands. catalyst systems described by this reference are illustrated solely with reference to transition metal compounds which are metallocenes, i.e., bis(cyclopentadienyl) Group IV B transition metal compounds. 25 Even more recently, at the Third Chemical Congress of North American held in Toronto, Canada in June 1988, John Bercaw reported upon efforts to use a compound of a Group III B transition metal coordinated to a single cyclopentadienyl heteroatom bridged ligand as a catalyst 30 system for the polymerization of olefins. Although some catalytic activity was observed under the conditions employed, the degree of activity and the properties observed in the resulting polymer product were discouraging of a belief that such monocyclopentadienyl • -- transition metal compound could be usefully employed for commercial polymerization processes. A need still exists for discovering catalyst systems that permit the production of higher molecular weight polyolefins and desirably with a narrow molecular weight distribution. It is further desirable that a catalyst be discovered which will catalyze the polymerization of an o-olefin monomer(s) to a highly crystalline form of poly- α-olefin i.e., the product polymer resin is free or substantially free of atactic stereochemical forms of poly-α-olefin molecules which are amorphous. Polymers comprised of α-olefin monomers have hydocarbyl groups pendant from the polymer backbone chain. Relative to the polymer backbone chain, the pendant hydrocarbyl groups may be arranged in different stereochemical configurations which are denominated as, for example, atactic, isotactic, or syndiotactic pendant group configuration. The degree and type of tacticity of a polyolefin molecule is a critical determinant of the physical properties which a resin composed of such polymer molecules will exhibit. Other critical determinants of the properties which a resin will exhibit are the type and relative concentration of monomers and comonomers, the weight average molecular weight (M w ) of the polymer molecules comprising the resin bulk, the molecular weight distribution (MWD) and the composition distribution of the resin. Important from a commercial standpoint is the rate or productivity at which a catalyst system will produce a poly-α-olefin resin of a desired set of properties in terms of tacticity, weight average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The weight average molecular weight (M„) of a poly- α-olefin is an important physical property determinant of the practical uses to which such polymer can be put. For end use applications which require high strength and low creep, the „ of such a resin must generally be in excess of 100,000. Further, for such high strength applications, the poly-α-ole in resin must generally have a high degree of crystallinity. The degree of cryεtallinity which a poly-α-olefin is capable of obtaining is, in major part, determined by the stereochemical regularity of the hydrocarbyl groups which are pendent to the polymer molecule backbone, i.e., the tacticity of the polymer. Five types of tacticity have been described in poly- α-olefins: atactic, normal isotactic, isotactic stereoblock, syndiotactic, and hemiisotactic. Although all of these tacticity configurations have been primarily demonstrated in the case of polypropylene, in theory each is equally possible for polymers comprised of any α- olefin, cyclic olefin or internal olefin. Atactic poly-α-olefins are those wherein the hydrocarbyl groups pendent to the polymer molecule backbone assume no regular order in space with reference to the backbone. This random, or atactic, structure is represented by a polymer backbone of alternating methylene and methine carbons, with randomly oriented branches substituting the methine carbons. The methine carbons randomly have R and S configurations, creating adjacent pairs either of like configuration (a "meso" or «B« dyad) or of unlike configuration (a "racemic" or "r" dyad) . The atactic form of a polymer contains approximately equal fractions of meso and racemic dyads. Atactic poly-α-olefins, particularly atactic polypropylene, are soluble in aliphatic and aromatic solvents at ambient temperature. Since atactic polymers ex. bit no regular order or repeating unit configurations in the polymer chain, such atactic polymers are amorphous materials. Since atactic poly-α-olefins are amorphous, the resins composed thereof have no measurable melting point. Atactic polymers exhibit little if any crystallinity, hence they are generally unsuitable for high strength applications regardless of the weight average molecular weight of the resin. Isotactic poly-α-olefins are those wherein the pendent hydrocarbyl groups are ordered in space to the same side or plane of the polymer backbone chain. Using isotactic polypropylene as an example, the isotactic structure is typically described as having the pendent methyl groups attached to the ternary carbon atoms of successive monomeric units on the same side of a hypothetical plane through the carbon backbone chain of the polymer, e.g., the methyl groups are all above or below the plane as shown below. The degree of isotactic regularity may be measured by NMR techniques. Bovey's NMR nomenclature for an isotactic pentad is ... mmms ... with each "m" representing a "meso" dyad or successive methyl groups on the same side in the plane. In the normal isotactic structure of a poly-α- olefin, all of the monomer units have the same stereochemical configuration, with the exception of random errors which appear along the polymer. Such random errors almost always appear as isolated inversions of configuration which are corrected in the very next e- olefin monomer insertion to restore the original R or S configuration of the propagating polymer chain. Single insertions of inverted configuration give rise to rr triads, which distinguish this isotactic structure in its NMR from the isotactic stereoblock form. As is known in the art, any deviation or inversion in the regularity of the structure of the chains lowers the degree of isotacticity and hence the crystallinity of which the polymer is capable. There are two other types of "errors" which have been observed in isotactic polymers prepared using metallocene-alusoxane catalyst systems which act to lower the melting point and/or T g of the material. These errors, as shown below arise when a monomer is added to the growing polymer chain in a 1, 3 or 2,1 fashion. Long before anyone had d scovered a catalyst system which produced the isotactic stereoblock form of a poly- α-olefin, the possible existence of a polymer of such micro-structure had been recognized and mechanisms for its formation had been proposed based on conventional Ziegler-Natta mechanisms in Langer, A.W., Lect. Bienn. Polvm. Sv p. 7th (1974); Ann, N,Y, ACfld, Sci, 295, 110- 126 (1977) . The first example of this form of polypropylene and a catalyst which produces it in a pure form were reported in U.S. Patent No. 4,522,982. The formation of stereoblock isotactic polymer differs from the formation of the normal isotactic structure in the way that the propagation site reacts to a stereochemical error in the chain. As mentioned above, the normal isotactic chain will return tothe original configuration following an error because the stereochemical regulator. the catalytic active metal species and its surrounding ligands, continue to dictate the same stereochemical preference during monomer insertion. In stereoblock propagation, the catalytic active metal site itself changes from one which dictates a monomer insertion of R configuration to one which dictates an S configuration for monomer insertion. The isotactic stereoblock form is shown below. This occurs either because the metal and its ligands change to the opposite stereochemical configuration or because the configuration of the last added monomer, rather than the metal chirality, controls the configuration of the next added monomer. In Ziegler- Natta catalysts, including the above referenced system, the exact structure and dynamic properties of the active site are not well understood, and it is virtually impossible to distinguish between the "site chirality exchange" and "chain end control" mechanisms for the formation of isotactic stereoblock poly-α-olefins. Unlike normal isotactic polymers, the lengths of individual blocks of the same configuration in the stereoblock structure vary widely due to changing reaction conditions. Since only the erroneous parts of the chains affect the crystallinity of the resin product, in general, normal isotactic polymers and isotactic stereoblock polymers of long block length (greater than 50 isotactic placements) have similar properties. Highly isotactic poly-α-olefins are insoluble in xylene and are capable of exhibiting a high degree of crystallinity and are in part characterizable by their melting point temperature. Accordingly, isotactic poly- α-olefins are, depending upon their weight average molecular weight exceeding about 100,000, well suited to high strength end use applications. Syndiotactic poly-α-olefins are those wherein the hydrocarbyl groups pendent to the polymer molecular backbone alternate sequentially in order from one side or plane to the opposite side or plane relative to the polymer backbone, as shown below. In NMR nomenclature, this pentad is described as ... rrrr ... in which each r represents a "racemic" dyad, i.e., successive methyl groups on alternate sides of the plane. The percentage of r dyads in the chain determines the degree of syndiotacticity of the polymer. Syndiotactic propagation has been studied for over 25 years; however, only a few good syndiospecific catalysts have been discovered, all of which are extremely sensitive to monomer bulkiness. As a result, well-characterized syndiotactic polymers are limited only to polypropylenes. The molecular chain backbone of a syndiotactic polymer can be considered to be a copolymer of olefins with alternating stereochemical configurations. Highly syndiotactic polymers are generally highly crystalline and will frequently have high melting points similar to their isotactic polymorphs. Like isotactic poly-α-olefins, syndiotactic poly-α- olefins are capable of exhibiting a high degree of crystallinity, hence are suitable for high strength applications provided their y exceeds about 100,000. Syndiotactic poly-α-olefins are in part characterized by their exhibition of a melting point temperature. For any of the above described materials the final resin properties and its suitability for particular applications depend on the type of tacticity, the melting point (stereoregularity) , the average molecular weight, the molecular weight distribution, the type and level of monomer and comonomer, the sequence distribution, and the presence or absence of head or end group functionality. Accordingly, the catalyst system by which such a stereoregular poly-α-olefin resin is to be produced should desirably be versatile in terms of M , MWD, tacticity type and level, and comonomer choice. Further, the catalyst system should be capable of producing these polymers with or without head and/or end group functionality, such as olefinic unsaturation. Still further, such catalyst system must be capable, as a commercially practical constraint, of producing such resins at an acceptable production rate. Most preferably, the catalyst system should be one which, at its productivity rate, provides a resin product which does not require a subsequent treatment to remove catalyst residue to a level which is acceptable for the resin in the end use application desired. Finally, an important feature of a commercial catalyst system is its adaptability to a variety of processes and conditions. Conventional titanium based Ziegler-Natta catalysts for the preparation of isotactic polymers are well known in the art. These commercial catalysts are well suited for the production of highly crystalline, high molecular weight materials. The systems are, however, limited in terms of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and tacticity control. The fact that the conventional catalysts contain several types of active sites further limits their ability to control the composition distribution in copolymerization. More recently a new method of producing isotactic polymers from an alumoxane cocatalyzed, or activated, metallocene which in its natural state has chirality centered at the transition metal of the metallocene, was reported in Ewen, J.A., J. Amer. Chem. Soc.. v. 106, p. 6355 (1984) and Kaminsky, W., et al., Anσew. Chem. Int, Ed Eng,; 21, 507-8 (1985). Catalysts that produce isotactic polyolefins are also disclosed in Patent No. 4,794,096. This patent discloses a chiral, stereorigid metallocene catalyst which is activated by an alumoxane cocatalyst which is reported to polymerize olefins to isotactic polyolefin forms. Alumoxane cocatalyzed metallocene structures which have been reported to polymerize stereoregularly are the ethylene bridged bis-indenyl and bis-tetra- hydroindenyl titanium and zirconium (IV) catalyst. Such catalyst systems were synthesized and studied in Wild et al., J. Orσano-net. Chem. 232, 233-47 (1982), and were later reported in Ewen and Kaminsky et al., mentioned above, to polymerize α-olefins stereoregularly. Further reported in West German Off DE 3443087A1 (1986), but without giving experimental verification, is that the bridge length of such stereorigid metallocenes can vary from a C to C 4 hydrocarbon and the metallocene rings can be simple or bi-cyclic but must be asymmetric. Metallocene-alu oxane catalyst generally require a high content of alumoxane cocatalyst to be sufficiently productive for commercial use. Accordingly, metallocene- alumoxane produced isotactic poly-α-olefin resins generally have a higher than desired catalyst residue content. Hafnocene systems, which yield polymers of higher average K, than the zirconium analogs, have very low activities even at high alumoxane concentrations. Syndiotactic polyolefins were first disclosed by Natta et al. in U.S. Patent No. 3,258,455. As reported, Natta obtained syndiotactic polypropylene by using a catalyst prepared from titanium trichloride and diethyl aluminum monochloride. A later patent to Natta et al., U.S. Patent No. 3,305,538, discloses the use of vanadium triacetylacetonate or halogenated vanadium compounds in combinations with organic aluminum compounds for production of syndiotactic polypropylene. More recently, a metallocene based catalyst system has been disclosed which is stated to be capable of production of syndiotactic polypropylene of high stereoregularity, U. S. Patent No. 4,892,851 describes. catalyst systems consisting of a bridged metallocene having at least two differently substituted cyclopentadienyl ring ligands which, when cocatalyzed with an alumoxane, is stated to be capable of production of syndiotactic polypropylene. Again, in commercial production to obtain a sufficient productivity level with such catalyst system, the content of alumoxane is undesirably high and consequently the catalyst residue in the resin so produced is undesirably high. In all methylalumoxane/metallocene catalyst systems the polymer characteristics (M w , MWD, tacticity type, comonomer incorporation, etc.) are controlled either by modifications to the structure of the metallocene precursor or by adjustment of the process conditions (temperature, pressure, concentrations). In general, adjustment of process conditions does not allow independent control of tacticity level, M„ and comonomer content. Addition of chain transfer agents such as hydrogen gas to the reactor gives lower molecular weight products without affecting tacticity, however, the resulting polymer no longer has unsaturated end groups. End group functionalization is often an important feature in the application of low molecular weight polymers. Given these limitations, one must prepare a wide variety of differently substituted metallocene precursors to access the entire range of desired materials. In view of the difficulty and practical limitations in the synthesis of bridged metallocene complexes necessary for the production of an alumoxane activated metallocene catalyst system capable of producing crystalline poly-α-olefins, it would be desirable to develop new catalytic processes which produce highly crystalline forms of poly-α-olefins of high molecular weight and relatively narrow molecular weight 5 distributions. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The process of this invention employs a catalyst system comprised of a transition metal component from Group IV B of the Periodic Table of the Elements 0 fCRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 68th ed. 1987- 1988) , generally a metallocene compound containing a single cyclopentadienyl mono- or polycyclic ligand and a Group V A or IV A element heteroatom ligand joined to a Group IV B transition metal atom, and an alumoxane 3 component. The catalyst system may be employed in solution, slurry or bulk phase polymerization procedure wherein an α-olefin monomer is contacted with the catalyst system at temperature, pressure and time sufficient to polymerize such ionomσ er to produce C crystalline poly-α-olefins of high weight average molecular weight and relatively narrow molecular weight distribution. For the purposes of the practice of this invention, it is intended that the term "crystalline poly-α-olefin" includes homopolymers of α-olefin, co-α- 5 olefin polymers, and copolymers of α-olefin with ethylene to the extent that copolymerization with ethylene does not interfere with crystallinity of the product. The "Group IV B transition metal component" of the catalyst system is represented by the formula: wherein: M is Zr, Hf or Ti in its highest formal oxidation state (4-4, d° complex) ; ( C 2 H -Λ ) ~- s a cyclopentadienyl ring which is substituted with from zero to four substituent groups R, "x" is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 denoting the degree of substitution, and each substituent group R is, independently, a radical selected from a group consisting of C j^ -0 20 hydrocarbyl radicals, substituted CJ^-^ Q hydrocarbyl radicals wherein one or sore hydrogen atoms is replaced by a halogen radical, an a ido radical, a phosphido radical, an alkoxy radical or any other radical containing a Lewis acidic or basic functionality, C j -^o hydrocarbyl-substituted metalloid radicals wherein the metalloid is selected from the Group iv A of the Periodic Table ot Elements; and halogen radicals, amido radicals, phosphide radicals, alkoxy radicals, aklylborido radicals or any other radical containing Lewis acidic or basic functionality; or IC-JH^J^) is a cyclopentadienyl ring in which at least two adjacent R-groups are joined forming a C -C 20 ring to give a saturated or unsaturated polycyclic cyclopentadienyl ligand such as indenyl, tetrahydroindenyl, fluorenyl or octahydrofluorenyl ; (JR' t _ 2 ) is a heteroatom ligand in which J is an element with a coordination number of three from Group V A or an element with a coordination number of two from Group VI A of the Periodic Table of Elements, preferably nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen or sulfur, and each R' is, independently a radical selected from a group consisting of C -C 2Q hydrocarbyl radicals, substituted C J -C 2Q hydrocarbyl radicals wherein one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by a halogen radical, an amido radical, a phosphido radical, an alkoxy radical or any other radical containing a Lewis acidic or basic functionality, and "z" is the coordination number of the element J; each Q may be independently any univalent anionic ligand such as a halide, hydride, or substituted or unsubstituted CJ^ Q hydrocarbyl, alkoxide, aryloxide, amide, arylamide, phosphide or arylphosphide, provided that where any Q is a hydrocarbyl such Q is different from (C^..^) , or both Q together may be an alkylidene or a cyclo etallated hydrocarbyl or any other divalent anionic chelating ligand; T is a covalent bridging group containing a Group IV A or V A element such as, but not limited to, a dialkyl, alkylaryl or diaryl silicon or germanium radical, alkyl or aryl phosphine or amine radical, or a hydrocarbyl radical such as methylene, ethylene and the like; L is a neutral Lewis base such as diethylether, tetraethyla monium chloride, tetrahyd ofuran, dimethylaniline , aniline, trimethylphosphire , n- butylamine, and the like; and "w" is a number fros 0 to 3. L can also be a second transition metal compound of-the same type such that thetwo metal centers M and M' are bridged by Q and Q', wherein M' has the same meaning as M and Q' has the same meaning as Q. Such dimeric compounds are represented by the formula: The alumoxane component of the catalyst may be represented by the formulas: (R 3 -A1-0) B ; R 4 (R 5 -Al-0) β ~ AIR 6 or mixtures thereof, wherein R 3 -R 6 are, independently, a C 1 -C 5 alkyl group or halide and "m" is an integer ranging from 1 to about 50 and preferably is from about 13 to about 25. Catalyst systems of the invention may be prepared by placing the "Group IV B transition metal component" and the alumoxane component in common solution in a normally liquid alkane or aromatic solvent, which solvent is preferably suitable for use as a polymerization diluent for the liquid phase polymerization of an α-olefin monomer. Those species of the Group, IV B transition metal component wherein the metal is titanium have been found to impart beneficial properties to a catalyst system which are unexpected in view of what is known about the properties of bis(cγclopentadienvl) titanium comDonrw-t* which are cocatalyzed by alu oxanes. Whereas titanocenes in their soluble form are generally unstable in the presence of aluminum alkyls, the sonocyclopentadienyl titanium metal components of this invention, particularly those wherein the heteroatom is nitrogen, generally exhibit greater stability in the presence of aluminum alkyls and higher catalyst activity rates. Further, the titanium species of the Group IV B transition metal component catalyst of this invention generally exhibit higher catalyst activities and the production of poly-α-olefins of greater molecular weight than catalyst systems prepared with the zirconium or hafnium species of the Group IV B transition metal component. A typical polymerization process of the invention such as for the polymerization or copolymerization of propylene comprises the steps of contacting propylene or other C -C 20 α-olefins alone, or with other unsaturated monomers including C 3 -C 20 α-olefins, C 5 -C 20 diole ins, and/or acetylenically unsaturated monomers either alone or in combination with other olefins and/or other unsaturated monomers, with a catalyst comprising, in a suitable polymerization diluent, a Group IV B transition metal component illustrated above; and a methylalumoxane in an amount to provide a molar aluminum to transition metal ratio of from about 1:1 to about 20,000:1 or more; and reacting such monomer in the presence of such catalyst system at a temperature of from about -100•C to about 300*C for a time of from about 1 second to about 10 hours to produce a poly-α-olefin having a weight average molecular weight of from about 1,000 or less to about 2,000,000 or more and a molecular weight distribution of fros about 1.5 to about 15.0. As discussed further hereafter, by proper selection of the type and pattern R substituents for the cyclopentadienyl ligand in relationship to the type of R' substituent of the heteroatom ligand the transition metal component for the catalyst system may be tailored to function in the catalyst system to produce highly crystalline poly-α-olefins to the total or substantial avoidance of the production of atactic poly-α-olefin molecules which are amorphous.

Illustrative compounds are: dimethylsilylfluorenyl-t- butylamido zirconium dichloride, dimethylsilylfluorenyl- t-butyUiido haf nium dichloride , dimethylsilylfluorenylcyclohexyla ido zirconiumdihalide. and dimethylsilylfluorenylcyclohexylamido hafnium dichloride. As noted, titanium species of the Group IV B transition metal compound have generally been found to yield catalyst systems which in comparison to their zirconium or hafnium analogous, are of higher activity. Illustrative, but not limiting of the titanium species which may exhibit such superior properties are; dimethylsilylf luorenyl-t-butylamido titanium dichloride, dimethyls ilylindenylcyclohexylamido titanium dichloride, dimethylsilyl-t-butylcyclopentadienylcyclododecylamido titanium dichloride, dimethylsilylmethylcyclopentadienyl- cyclododecy lamido titanium dichloride, dimethylsilylmethylcyclopentadienyl-2 , 6- diisopropylphenylamido titanium dichloride, dimethylsilylmethylcyclopentadienylcyclohexy lamido titanium dichloride, and dimethylsilylmethyl- cyclopentadienyl-2 , 5-di-t-butylphenylamido titanium dichloride. For illustrative purposes, the above compounds and those permuted from Table 1 do not include the neutral Lewis base ligand (L) . The conditions under which complexes containing neutral Lewis base ligands such as ether or those which form dimeric compounds is determined by the steric bulk of the ligands about the metal center. For example, the £-butyl group in Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 ) (N-£- Bu)ZrCl 2 has greater steric requirements than the phenyl group in Me 2 Si(Me 4 C 5 ) (NPh) ZrCl 2 «Et 2 0 thereby not permitting ether coordination in the former compound. Similarly, due to the decreased steric bulk of the tri ethylsilylcyclopentadienyl group in [Me 2 Si(Me 3 SiC s H 3 ) (N-£-Bu)ZrCl 2 ] 2 versus that of the tetrasethylcyclopentadienyl group in Me 2 Si (MeC s ) (N-£ Bu) ZrCl 2 , the former compound is dimβric and the latter is not. To illustrate members of the Group IV B transition metal component, select any combination of the species in Table 1. An exasple of a bridged species would be dimethy ls i lyclopentadiβnyl-t-butylaaidodichloro zirconium. The Group IV B transition metal compounds can be prepared by reacting a cyclopentadienyl lithium compound with a dihalo compound whereupon a lithium halide salt is liberated and a monohalo substituent becomes covalently bound to the cyclopentadienyl compound. The so substituted cyclopentadienyl reaction product is next reacted with a lithium salt of a phosphide, oxide, sulfide or amide (for the sake of illustrative purposes, a lithium amide) whereupon the halo element of the monohalo substituent group of the reaction product reacts to liberate a lithium halide salt and the amine moiety of the lithium amide salt becomes covalently bound to the substituent of the cyclopentadienyl reaction product. The resulting amine derivative of the cyclopentadienyl product is then reacted with an alkyl lithium reagent whereupon the labile hydrogen atoms, at the carbon atom of the cyclopentadienyl compound and at the nitrogen atom of the amine moiety covalently bound to the substituent group, react with the alkyl of the lithium alkyl reagent to liberate the alkane and produce a dilithium salt of the cyclopentadienyl compound. Thereafter the bridged species of the Group IV B transition metal compound is produced by reacting the dillthius salt cyclopentadienyl compound with a Group IV B transition metal preferably a Group IV B transition metal halide. The class of transition metal components most preferred for use in the process for production of crystalline poly-α-olefins is that wherein the covalent bridging group T contains silicon and the heteroatom J of the heteroatom ligand is nitrogen. Accordingly, the pre erred class of transition metal components are of the formula: wherein Q, L, R\ R, "x" and "w" are as previously defined and R 1 and R 2 are each independently a C x to C 20 hydrocarbyl radicals, substituted C α to CJ Q hydrocarbyl radicals wherein one or more hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen atom; R 1 and R 2 may also be joined forming a C 3 to C 20 ring which incorporates the silicon bridge. The alumoxane component of the catalyst system is an oligomeric compound which may be represented by the general formula (R 3 -A1-0) B which is a cyclic compound, or may be R 4 (R s -Al-0-) β -AlR 6 2 which is a linear compound. An alumoxane is generally a mixture of both the linear and cyclic compounds. In the general alumoxane formula R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and „R 6 are, independently a C^ alkyl radical, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl or pentyl and "a" is an integer from 1 to about 50. Most preferably, R 3 , R 4 , R s and R 6 are each methyl and ■ * ■ is at least 4. When an alkyl aluminum halide is employed in the preparation of the alumoxane, one or more R 3 " 6 groups may be halide. As is now well known, alumoxanes can be prepared by various procedures. For example, a trialkyl aluminum may be reacted with water, in the form of a moist inert organic solvent; or the trialkyl aluminum may be contacted with a hydrated salt, such as hydrated copper εulf te suspended in an inert organic solvent, to yield an alumoxane. Generally, however prepared, the reaction of a trialkyl aluminum with a limited amount of water yields a mixture of both linear and cyclic species of alumoxane. Suitable alumoxanes which may be utilized in the catalyst systems of this invention are those prepared by the hydrolysis of a trialkylaluminum; such as trimethylaluminum, triethyaluminum, tripropylaluminu ; triisobutylaluminum, dimethylaluminumchloride, diisobutylalu inumchloride, diethylaluminumchloride, and the like. The most preferred alumoxane for use is methylalumoxane (MAO) . Methylalu oxanes having an average degree of oligomerization of from about 4 to about 25 ("m" = 4 to 25), with a range of 13 to 25, are the most preferred. Catalyst Systems The catalyst systems employed in the method of the invention comprise a complex formed upon admixture of the Group IV B transition metal component with an alumoxane component. The catalyst system may be prepared by addition of the requisite Group IV B transition metal and alumoxane components to an inert solvent in which olefin polymerization can be carried out by a solution, slurry or bulk phase polymerization procedure. The catalyst system may be conveniently prepared by placing the selected Group IV B transition metal component and the selected alumoxane component in any order of addition, in an alkane or aromatic hydrocarbon solvent — preferably one which is also suitable for service as a polymerization diluent. Where the hydrocarbon solvent utilized is also suitable for use as a polymerization diluent, the catalyst system may be prepared in situ in the polymerization reactor. Alternatively, the catalyst system may be separately prepared, in concentrated form, and added to the polymerization diluent in a reactor. Or, if desired, the components of the catalyst system may be prepared as separate solutions and added to the polymerization diluent in a reactor, in appropriate ratios, as is suitable for a continuous liquid phase polymerization reaction procedure. Alkane and aromatic hydrocarbons suitable as solvents for formation of the catalyst system and also as a polymerization diluent are exemplified by, but are not necessarily limited to, straight and branched chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane and the like, cyclic and alicyclichydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, sethylcycloheptane and the like, and aromatic and alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene and the like. Suitable solvents also include liquid olefins which may act as monomers or comonomers including ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene and the like. In accordance with this invention optimum results are generally obtained wherein the Group IV B transition metal compound is present in the polymerization diluent in a concentration of from about 0.0001 to about 1.0 millimoles/liter of diluent and the alumoxane component is present in an amount to provide a molar aluminum to transition metal ratio of from about 1:1 to about 20,000:1. sufficient solvent should be employed so as to provide adequate heat transfer away from the catalyst components during reaction and to permit good mixing. The catalyst system ingredients — that is, the Group IV B transition metal, the alumoxane, and polymerization diluent — can be added to the reaction vessel rapidly or slowly. The temperature maintained during the contact of the catalyst components can vary widely, such as, for example, from -10* to 300 β C. Greater or lesser temperatures can also be employed. Preferably, during formation of the catalyst system, the reaction is maintained within a temperature of from about 25° to 100 # C, most preferably about 25 C. At all times, the individual catalyst system components, as well as the catalyst system once formed, are protected from oxygen and moisture. Therefore, the reactions to prepare the catalyst system are performed in an oxygen and moisture free atmosphere and, where the catalyst system is recovered separately it is recovered in an oxygen and moisture free atmosphere. Preferably, therefore, the reactions are performed in the presence of an inert dry gas such as, for example, helium or nitrogen. Polymerization Process In a preferred embodiment of the process of this invention the catalyst system is utilized in the liquid phase (slurry, solution, suspension or bulk phase or combination thereof) , high pressure fluid phase or gas phase polymerization of an α-olefin monomer. These processes may be employed singularly or in series. The liquid phase process comprises the steps of contacting an α-olefin monomer with the catalyst system in a suitable polymerization diluent and reacting said monomer in the presence of said catalyst system for a time and at a temperature sufficient to produce a poly-α-olefin of high crystallinity and molecular weight. The monomer for such process comprises an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms. Propylene is a preferred monomer. Homopoly ers of higher α-olefin such as butene, styrene and copolymers thereof with ethylene and/or C or higher α-olefins, diolef ins , cyclic olefins and internal olefins can also be prepared. Conditions most preferred for the homo- or copolymerization of the α-olefin are those wherein an α-olef in is submitted to the reaction zone at pressures of from about 0.019 psia to about 50, 000 psia and the reaction temperature is maintained at from about -100 β to about 300 β C. The aluminum to transition metal molar ratio is preferably from -oout 1: 1 to 18 , 000 to 1. A more preferable range would be 1 : 1 to 2000: 1. The reaction time is preferably from about 10 seconds to about 1 hour . Without limiting in any way the scope of the invention, one means for carrying out the process of the present invention for production of a copolymer is as follows : in a stirred-tank reactor liquid α-olefin monomer is introduced, such as propylene. The catalyst system is introduced via nozzles in either the vapor or liquid phase . The reactor contains a liquid phase composed substantially of the liquid α-olefin monomer together with a vapor phase containing vapors of the monomer. The reactor temperature and pressure may be controlled via reflux of vaporizing α-olefin monomer (autorefrigeration) , as well as by cooling coils, jackets etc. The polymerization rate is controlled by the concentration of catalyst. By appropriate selection of (1) Group IV B transition metal component for use in the catalyst system; (2) the type and amount of alumoxane used; (3) the polymerization diluent type and volume; (4) reaction temperature; and (5) reaction pressure, one may tailor the product polymer to the weight average molecular weight value desired while still maintaining the molecular weight distribution to a value below about 4.0. The preferred polymerization diluents for practice of the process of the invention are aromatic diluents, such as toluene, or alkanes, such as hexane. The resins that are prepared in accordance with this invention can be used to make a variety of products including films and fibers. EXAMPLES In the examples which illustrate the practice of the invention the analytical techniques described below were employed for the analysis of the resulting polyolefin products. Molecular weight determinations for polyolefin products were made by Gel Permeation Chro atography (GPC) according to the following technique. Molecular weights and molecular weight distributions were measured using a Waters 150 gel permeation chromatograph equipped with a differential refractive index (DRI) detector and a Chromatix KMX-6 on-line light scattering photometer. The system was used at 135°C with 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as the mobile phase. Shodex (Showa Denko America, Inc.) polystyrene gel columns 802, 803, 804 and 805 were used. This technique is discussed in "Liquid Chromatography of Polymers and Related Materials III", J. Cazes editor, Marcel Dekker. 1981, p. 207, which is incorporated herein by reference. No corrections for column spreading were employed; however, data on generally accepted standards, e.g. National Bureau of Standards Polyethylene 1484 and anionically produced hydrogenated polyisoprenes (an alternating ethylene-propylene copolymer) demonstrated that such corrections on Mw/Mn (= MWD) were less than 0.05 units. Mw/Mn was calculated from elution times. The numerical analyses were performed using the commercially available Beckman/CIS customized LALLS software in conjunction with the standard Gel Permeation package, run on a HP 1000 computer. Calculations involved in the characterization of polymers by 13 CNMR follow the work of F. A. Bovey in "Polymer Conformation and Configuration" Academic Press, New York, 1969. The following examples are intended to illustrate specific embodiments of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. All procedures were performed under an inert atmosphere of helium or nitrogen. Solvent choices are often optional, for example, in most cases either pentane or 30-60 petroleum ether can be interchanged.
