Description: ETHYLENE/ALPHA-OLEFIN/D IENE INTERPOLYMERS AND THEIR PREPARATION This invention relates to interpolymers of ethylene (C 2 ), at least one alpha-olefin (α- olefin), preferably propylene (C 3 ), butene-1 , hexene-1 or octene-1 , and at least one diolefin monomer, preferably a nonconjugated diene monomer, and their preparation using an olefin polymerization catalyst derived from a class of Group 4 metal complexes. Constrained geometry metal complexes and methods for their preparation are disclosed in EP-A-416,815 (US serial number 545,403, filed July 3, 1990); EP-A-468,651 (US serial number 547,718, filed July 3, 1990); EP-A-514,828 (US serial number 702,475, filed May 20, 1991); EP-A-520,732 (US serial number 876,268, filed May 1 , 1992) and WO93/19104 (US serial number 8,003, filed January 21 , 1993), as well as US-A-5,055,438, US-A-5,057,475, US- A-5,096,867, US-A-5,064,802, US-A-5, 132,380, WO95/00526, and US Provisional Application 60-005913. Variously substituted indenyl containing metal complexes are taught in US serial number 592,756, filed January 26, 1996, as well as WO95/14024. The relevant teachings of all of the foregoing patents or the corresponding US patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference. One aspect of the present invention is a random ethylene/α-olefin/diene monomer (EAODM) interpolymer, the interpolymer having (a) a weight ratio of ethylene to α-olefin within a range of from 90:10 to 10:90, the α-olefin being a C 3 . 2 o α-olefin; (b) a diene monomer content within a range of from greater than 0 to 25 percent by weight (wt%), based on interpolymer weight; and (c) a B value of from 0.94 to 1.0, the B value being determined by 13 C NMR (carbon- 13 nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy and the formula B = POE/(2 PE ' PO) wherein P E is a molar fraction of ethylene units derived from ethylene, P 0 is a molar fraction of α-olefin units derived from an α-olefin, and POE is a ratio of the number of α-olefin/ethylene chains to the number of all dyad chains in the interpolymer. J. C. Randall, Macromolecuies, 15, pg 353 (1982) and J. Ray, Macromolecuies, 10, pg 773 (1977) provide further explanations of the B value. A Bemoullian distribution will provide a B value of 1 , a perfectly alternating polymer will provide a B value of 2 and a block polymer, such as a ethylene/propylene diblock polymer, will give a B value that approaches 0. In practical terms, a B value of less than 1 indicates that a polymer has an α-olefin distribution that is more clustered than Bemoullian and a B value of more than 1 indicates that a polymer has an α-olefin distribution that is more isolated than Bemoullian. 13 C NMR samples for B value determination are suitably prepared in a 50%/50% (volume basis) solvent blend of 1 ,1 ,2,2-tetrachloroethane-d 2 and 1 ,2,4-trichlorobenzene that includes sufficient paramagnetic relaxation agent to produce an NMR solvent having a concentration of 0.05 M in chromium(lll) acetylacetonate. The samples are prepared by mixing a polymer and the NMR solvent in a volumetric ratio of 10:90 in a nitrogen-purged and capped 10 millimeter (mm) NMR tube. The contents of the tube are heated to reflux periodically until homogeneity is achieved. Spectra are acquired at 130° Centigrade (°C) using an inverse gated decoupling sequence with a pulse width of 90°C and a delay of 5 - 9 seconds. A second aspect of the present invention is a process for preparing the interpolymer of the first aspect, the process comprising contacting ethylene, at least one C 3 - 20 α-olefin monomer and a diene monomer with a catalyst and an activating cocatalyst, the catalyst being a metal complex that corresponds to the formula Z A' M XpX' q , wherein M is titanium, zirconium or hafnium in the +2, +3 or +4 formal oxidation state; A' is a substituted indenyl group substituted in at least the 2 position with a group selected from hydrocarbyl, fluoro-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy-substituted hydrocarbyl, dialkylamino- substituted hydrocarbyl, silyl, germyl and mixtures thereof, said group containing up to 40 nonhydrogen atoms, and said A' further being covalently bonded to M by means of a divalent Z group; Z is a divalent moiety bound to both A' and M via σ-bonds, said Z comprising boron, or a member of Group 14 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, and also comprising nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur or oxygen; X is an anionic or dianionic ligand group having up to 60 atoms exclusive of the class of ligands that are cyclic, delocalized, π-bound ligand groups; X' independently each occurrence is a neutral Lewis base ligating compound, having up to 20 atoms; p is 0, 1 or 2, and is two less than the formal oxidation state of M, with the proviso that when X is a dianionic ligand group, p is 1 ; and q is 0, 1 or 2. Preferred X' groups are carbon monoxide; phosphines, especially trimethylphosphine, triethylphosphine, triphenylphosphine and bis(1 ,2-dimethylphosphino)ethane; P(OR) 3 , wherein R is a C1- 20 hydrocarbyl; ethers, especially tetrahydrofuran (THF); amines, especially pyridine, bipyridine, tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), and triethylamine; olefins; and conjugated dienes, preferably neutral conjugated dienes, having from 4 to 40 carbon atoms. Complexes including the latter X' groups include those wherein the metal is in the +2 formal oxidation state. The above metal complexes may exist as isolated crystals, optionally in pure form or as a mixture with other complexes, in the form of a solvated adduct, optionally in a solvent, especially an organic liquid, as well as in the form of a dimer or chelated derivative thereof, wherein the chelating agent is an organic material, preferably a neutral Lewis base, especially a trihydrocarbylamine, trihydrocarbylphosphine, or halogenated derivative thereof. Figure I is a schematic flow diagram that illustrates the process used in Examples 4-7 and Comparative Example A. The present process results in the highly efficient production of high weight average molecular weight (M w ) EAODM interpolymers or polymers over a wide range of polymerization conditions, and especially at elevated temperatures. They are especially useful for the solution polymerization of EAODM polymers wherein the diene is 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), 1 ,4- hexadiene or a similar nonconjugated diene or a conjugated diene such as 1 ,3-pentadiene. The use of elevated temperatures dramatically increases the productivity of such process due to the fact that increased polymer solubility at elevated temperatures allows the use of increased conversions (higher concentration of polymer product) without exceeding solution viscosity limitations of the polymerization equipment as well as reduced energy costs needed to devolatilize the reaction product.

Also, any reference to a Group or Groups shall be to the Group or Groups as reflected in this Periodic Table of the Elements using the IUPAC system for numbering groups. EAODM interpolymers of the present invention have three distinct characteristics. One is a rheology ratio (V 0 .ι/V 10 o) at a temperature of 190°C within a range of from about 3 to about 90.

For example, they have a rheology ratio that is at least 10% greater than that of the corresponding EAODM polymers. They also have a diene content that is, on a weight basis, at least 50 percent (%) greater, a M w that is at least 1.5 times greater, a glass transistion temperature (T g ), obtained from a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) curve using the first derivative of temperature, that is at least one °C lower and a MV that is at least 2.5 times greater than that of the corresponding EAODM polymers.

The complexes can be prepared by use of well known synthetic techniques. Optionally a reducing agent can be employed to produce the lower oxidation state complexes. Such a process is disclosed in USSN 8/241 ,523, filed May 13, 1994, published as WO95-00526, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. The syntheses are conducted in a suitable noninterfering solvent at a temperature from -100 to 300 °C, preferably from -78 to 100 °C, most preferably from 0 to 50 °C. "Reducing agent", as used herein, means a metal or compound that, under reducing conditions, causes a metal M to be reduced from a higher to a lower oxidation state. Examples of suitable metal reducing agents are alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, aluminum and zinc, alloys of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals such as sodium/mercury amalgam and sodium/potassium alloy. Examples of suitable reducing agent compounds are sodium naphthalenide, potassium graphite, lithium alkyls, lithium or potassium alkadienyls; and Grignard reagents. Preferred reducing agents include the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, especially lithium and magnesium metal. Suitable reaction media for formation of the catalyst complexes include aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers, and cyclic ethers, particularly branched-chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, and mixtures thereof; cyclic and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, methylcycloheptane, and mixtures thereof; aromatic and hydrocarbyl-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, C-|. 4 dialkyl ethers, C dialkyl ether derivatives of (poly)alkylene glycols, and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Mixtures of the foregoing are also suitable. The complexes are rendered catalytically active by combining them with an activating cocatalyst or by use of an activating technique. Suitable activating cocatalysts for use herein include polymeric or oligomeric alumoxanes, especially methylalumoxane, triisobutyl aluminum modified methylalumoxane, or isobutylalumoxane; neutral Lewis acids, such as C 1 . 30 hydrocarbyl substituted Group 13 compounds, especially tri(hydrocarbyl)aluminum- or tri(hydrocarbyl)boron compounds and halogenated (including perhalogenated) derivatives thereof, having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in each hydrocarbyl or halogenated hydrocarbyl group, more especially perfluorinated tri(aryl)boron compounds, and most especially tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (hereinafter "FAB"); nonpolymeric, compatible, noncoordinating, ion forming compounds (including the use of such compounds under oxidizing conditions), especially the use of ammonium-, phosphonium-, oxonium-, carbonium-, silylium- or sulfonium- salts of compatible, noncoordinating anions, or ferrocenium salts of compatible, noncoordinating anions; and combinations of the foregoing activating cocatalysts and techniques. The foregoing activating cocatalysts and activating techniques have been previously taught with respect to different metal complexes in the following references: EP-A-277,003, US-A-5,153,157, US-A- 5,064,802, EP-A-468,651 (equivalent to U. S. Serial No. 07/547,718), EP-A-520,732 (equivalent to U. S. Serial No. 07/876,268), and EP-A-520,732 (equivalent to U. S. Serial Nos. 07/884,966 filed May 1 , 1992), the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. Combinations of neutral Lewis acids, especially the combination of a trialkyl aluminum compound having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in each alkyl group and a halogenated tri(hydrocarbyl)boron compound having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms in each hydrocarbyl group, especially FAB, further combinations of such neutral Lewis acid mixtures with a polymeric or oligomeric aiumoxane, and combinations of a single neutral Lewis acid, especially FAB with a polymeric or oligomeric aiumoxane are especially desirable activating cocatalysts. Preferred molar ratios of Group 4 metal complex:FAB:alumoxane are from 1 :1 :1 to 1 :5:20, more preferably from 1:1:1.5 to 1 :5:10. The use of lower levels of aiumoxane in the process of the present invention allows for production of EAODM polymers with high catalytic efficiencies using less of the expensive aiumoxane cocatalyst. Additionally, polymers with lower levels of aluminum residue, and hence greater clarity, are obtained. Suitable ion forming compounds that are useful as cocatalysts comprise a cation which is a Brόnsted acid capable of donating a proton, and a compatible, noncoordinating anion, A ' . As used herein, the term "noncoordinating" means an anion or substance that either does not coordinate to the Group 4 metal containing precursor complex and the catalytic derivative derived therefrom, or is only weakly coordinated to such complexes, thereby remaining sufficiently labile to be displaced by a neutral Lewis base. A noncoordinating anion specifically refers to an anion that, when functioning as a charge balancing anion in a cationic metal complex, does not transfer an anionic substituent or fragment thereof to the cation thereby forming neutral complexes. "Compatible anions" are anions that are not degraded to neutrality when the initially formed complex decomposes and are noninterfering with desired subsequent polymerization or other uses of the complex. Preferred anions contain a single coordination complex comprising a charge-bearing metal or metalloid core and are capable of balancing the charge of the active catalyst species (the metal cation) that may be formed when the two components are combined. Also, said anion should be sufficiently labile to be displaced by olefinic, diolefinic and acetylenically unsaturated compounds or other neutral Lewis bases such as ethers or nitrites. Suitable metals include, but are not limited to, aluminum, gold and platinum. Suitable metalloids include, but are not limited to, boron, phosphorus, and silicon. Compounds containing anions that comprise coordination complexes containing a single metal or metalloid atom are, of course, well known and many, particularly such compounds containing a single boron atom in the anion portion, are available commercially. Preferably such cocatalysts may be represented by the following general formula: (L*-H) d + (A) d - wherein: L * is a neutral Lewis base; (L*-H)+ is a Brόnsted acid; A d" is a noncoordinating, compatible anion having a charge of d-, and d is an integer from 1 to 3. More preferably A d" corresponds to the formula: [M'Q 4 ] " ; wherein: M' is boron or aluminum in the +3 formal oxidation state; and Q is, independently for each occurrence, selected from hydride, dialkylamido, halide, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxide, halosubstituted-hydrocarbyl, halosubstituted hydrocarbyloxy, and halo- substituted silylhydrocarbyl radicals (including perhalogenated hydrocarbyl- perhalogenated hydrocarbyloxy- and perhalogenated silylhydrocarbyl radicals), said Q having up to 20 carbons with the proviso that in not more than one occurrence is Q a halide. Examples of suitable hydrocarbyloxide Q groups are disclosed in US-A- 5,296,433, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. In a more preferred embodiment, d is one, that is, the counter ion has a single negative charge and is A " . Activating cocatalysts comprising boron which are particularly useful in the preparation of catalysts of this invention may be represented by the following general formula: (L * -H) + (BQ 4 )-; wherein: L * is as previously defined; B is boron in a formal oxidation state of 3; and Q is a hydrocarbyl-, hydrocarbyloxy-, fluorinated hydrocarbyl-, fluorinated hydrocarbyloxy-, or fluorinated silylhydrocarbyl- group of up to 20 nonhydrogen atoms, with the proviso that in not more than one occasion is Q hydrocarbyl.

Silylium salts have been previously generically disclosed in J. Chem Soc. Chem. Comm., 1993, 383-384, as well as Lambert, J. B., et al., Organometallics, 1994, 13, 2430-2443. The use of the above silylium salts as activating cocatalysts for addition polymerization catalysts is claimed in US serial number 304,314, filed September 12, 1994, published in equivalent form as WO96/08519 on March 21 , 1996, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. Certain complexes of alcohols, mercaptans, silanols, and oximes with FAB are also effective catalyst activators and may be used according to the present invention. Such cocatalysts are disclosed in US-A-5,296,433, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing activating cocatalysts may also be used in combination. An especially preferred combination is a mixture of a tri(hydrocarbyl)aluminum or tri(hydrocarbyl)borane compound having from 1 to 4 carbons in each hydrocarbyl group with an oligomeric or polymeric aiumoxane compound. The molar ratio of catalyst/cocatalyst employed preferably ranges from 1 :10,000 to 100:1 , more preferably from 1 :5000 to 10:1 , most preferably from 1 :1000 to 1 :1. Aiumoxane, when used by itself as an activating cocatalyst, is employed in large quantity, generally at least 100 times the quantity of metal complex on a molar basis (calculated on moles of aluminum (Al)). FAB, when used as an activating cocatalyst, is employed in a molar ratio to the metal complex of form 0.5:1 to 10:1 , more preferably from 1 :1 to 6:1 most preferably from 1 :1 to 5:1. The remaining activating cocatalysts are generally employed in approximately equimolar quantity with the metal complex. In general, polymerization may be accomplished at conditions well known in the art for Ziegler-Natta or Kaminsky-Sinn type polymerization reactions, that is, temperatures from 0-250 °C, preferably 30 to 200 °C and pressures from atmospheric to 10,000 atmospheres. Suspension, solution, slurry, gas phase, solid state powder polymerization or other process condition may be employed if desired. A support, especially silica, alumina, or a polymer (especially poly(tetrafluoroethylene) or a polyolefin) may be employed, and desirably is employed when the catalysts are used in a gas phase polymerization process. The support is preferably employed in an amount to provide a weight ratio of catalyst (based on metal):support from 1:100,000 to 1:10, more preferably from 1:50,000 to 1:20, and most preferably from 1 :10,000 to 1 :30. In most polymerization reactions, the molar ratio of catalyst-.polymerizable compounds employed is from 10 '12 :1 to 10 "1 :1 , more preferably from 10 "9 :1 to 10 "5 :1. Inert liquids are suitable solvents for polymerization. Examples include straight and branched-chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, and mixtures thereof; cyclic and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, methylcycloheptane, and mixtures thereof; perfluorinated hydrocarbons such as perfluorinated C 4 . 10 alkanes; and aromatic and alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene. Suitable solvents also include liquid olefins that may act as monomers or comonomers including butadiene, cyclopentene, 1- hexene, 1 -hexane, 4-vinylcyclohexene, vinylcyclohexane, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 4-methyl-1- pentene, 1 ,4-hexadiene, 1-octene, 1-decene, styrene, divinylbenzene, allylbenzene, and vinyltoluene (including all isomers alone or in admixture). Mixtures of the foregoing are also suitable. If desired, normally gaseous olefins can be converted to liquids by application of pressure and used herein. The catalysts may be utilized in combination with at least one additional homogeneous or heterogeneous polymerization catalyst in separate reactors connected in series or in parallel to prepare polymer blends having desirable properties. An example of such a process is disclosed in WO 94/00500, equivalent to U. S. Serial Number 07/904,770, as well as U. S. Serial Number 08/10958, filed January 29, 1993, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. By using these catalysts in the process of the present invention, interpolymers having high comonomer incorporation and correspondingly low density, yet having a high MV are readily prepared. That is, high M w polymers are readily attained by use of the present catalysts even at elevated reactor temperatures. This result is highly desirable because the M w of α- olefin interpolymers can be readily reduced by the use of hydrogen or similar chain transfer agent, however increasing the molecular weight of α-olefin interpolymers is usually only attainable by reducing the polymerization temperature of the reactor. Disadvantageously, operation of a polymerization reactor at reduced temperatures significantly increases the cost of operation since heat must be removed from the reactor to maintain the reduced reaction temperature, while at the same time heat must be added to the reactor effluent to vaporize the solvent. In addition, productivity is increased due to improved polymer solubility, decreased solution viscosity, and a higher polymer concentration. Utilizing the present catalysts, α-olefin homopolymers and copolymers having densities from 0.85 g/cm 3 to 0.96 g/cm 3 , and a MV of from 1 to 150 are readily attained in a high temperature process. The catalysts used in the process of the present invention are particularly advantageous for the production of interpolymers that have high levels of long chain branching. The use of the catalysts in continuous polymerization processes, especially continuous solution polymerization processes, allows for elevated reactor temperatures that favor the formation of vinyl terminated polymer chains that may be incorporated into a growing polymer, thereby giving a long chain branch. The unique combination of elevated reactor temperatures, high molecular weight (or low melt indices) at high reactor temperatures and high comonomer reactivity advantageously allows for the economical production of polymers having excellent physical properties and processability. The process used to prepare the EAODM interpolymers of the present invention may be either a solution or slurry process both of which are previously known in the art. Kaminsky, J. Poly. Sci., Vol. 23, pp. 2151-64 (1985) reported the use of a soluble bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dimethyl-alumoxane catalyst system for solution polymerization of EP and EAODM elastomers. US-A-5,229,478 discloses a slurry polymerization process utilizing similar bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium based catalyst systems. In general terms, it is desirable to produce EAODM elastomers under conditions of increased reactivity of the diene monomer component. The reason for this was explained in the above identified '478 patent in the following manner, which still remains true despite the advances attained in such reference. A major factor affecting production costs and hence the utility of an EAODM is diene monomer cost. The diene is a more expensive monomer material than C 2 or C 3 . Further, the reactivity of diene monomers with previously known metallocene catalysts is lower than that of C 2 and C 3 . Consequently, to achieve the requisite degree of diene incorporation to produce an EAODM with an acceptably fast cure rate, it has been necessary to use a diene monomer concentration which, expressed as a percentage of the total concentration of monomers present, is in substantial excess compared to the percentage of diene desired to be incorporated into the final EAODM product. Since substantial amounts of unreacted diene monomer must be recovered from the polymerization reactor effluent for recycle the cost of production is increased unnecessarily. Further adding to the cost of producing an EAODM is the fact that, generally, the exposure of an olefin polymerization catalyst to a diene, especially the high concentrations of diene monomer required to produce the requisite level of diene incorporation in the final EAODM product, often reduces the rate or activity at which the catalyst will cause polymerization of ethylene and propylene monomers to proceed. Correspondingly, lower throughputs and longer reaction times have been required, compared to the production of an ethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer or other α-olefin copolymer elastomer. The catalyst systems used in the process of the present invention advantageously allow for increased diene reactivity thereby preparing EAODM polymers in high yield and productivity. Additionally, the process of the present invention achieves economical production of EAODM polymers with diene contents of from greater than zero up to 20 weight percent (wt%) or higher, preferably from 0.3 to 20 wt%, more preferably from 0.5 to 12 wt%. These EAODM polymers possess highly desirable fast cure rates. The preferred EAODM elastomers have a C 2 content of from 20 up to 90 wt%, more preferably 30 to 85 wt%, and most preferably 35 to 80 wt%. The α-olefin, other than C 2 , is generally incorporated into the EAODM polymer at 10 to 80 wt%, more preferably at 20 to 65 wt%. The non-conjugated dienes are generally incorporated into the EAODM polymer at 0.5 to 25 wt%, preferably at 1 to 15 wt%, and more preferably at 3 to 12 wt%. If desired, more than one diene may be incorporated simultaneously, for example 1 ,4-hexadiene and ENB, with total diene incorporation within the limits specified above. The catalyst system used in the process of the present invention may be prepared as a homogeneous catalyst by adding the requisite components to a solvent in which polymerization will be carried out by solution polymerization procedures. The catalyst system may also be prepared and employed as a heterogeneous catalyst by adsorbing the requisite components on a catalyst support material such as silica gel, alumina or other suitable inorganic support material. When prepared in heterogeneous or supported form, it is preferred to use silica as the support material. The heterogeneous form of the catalyst system is employed in a slurry polymerization. As a practical limitation, slurry polymerization takes place in liquid diluents in which the polymer product is substantially insoluble. Preferably, the diluent for slurry polymerization is one or more Cι. 5 hydrocarbons. If desired, saturated hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane or butane may be used in whole or part as the diluent. Likewise the α-olefin monomer or a mixture of different α-olefin monomers may be used in whole or part as the diluent. Most preferably the diluent comprises in at least major part the α-olefin monomer or monomers to be polymerized. The EAODM polymers of the present invention may, as noted above, also be prepared by gas phase polymerization, another well known process wherein reactor cooling typically occurs via evaporative cooling of a volatile material such as a recycle gas, an inert liquid or a monomer or diene that is used to prepare the EAODM polymer. A suitable inert liquid is a C 3 . 8 , preferably a C . 6 , saturated hydrocarbon monomer. The volatile material or liquid evaporates in the hot fluidized bed to form a gas that mixes with the fluidizing gas. This type of process is described, for example in EP 89691 ; US-A-4,543,399; WO 94/25495; WO 94/28032; and US-A- 5,352,749, the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Other relevant teachings, also incorporated by reference, are found in US-A-4,588,790; US-A-4,543,399; US- A-5,352,749; US-A-5,436,304; US-A-5,405,922; US-A-5,462,999; US-A-5,461 ,123; US-A- 5,453,471 ; US-A-5,032,562; US-A-5,028,670; US-A-5,473,028; US-A-5, 106,804; US-A- 5,541 ,270; EP-A-659,773; EP-A-692,500; and PCT Applications WO 94/29032, WO 94/25497, WO 94/25495, WO 94/28032; WO 95/13305; WO 94/26793; and WO 95/07942. The polymerization reaction occurring in the gas fluidized bed is catalyzed by the continuous or semi-continuous addition of catalyst. Such catalyst can be supported on an inorganic or organic support material. The gas phase processes suitable for the practice of this invention are preferably continuous processes that provide for a continuous supply of reactants to the reaction zone of the reactor and the removal of products from the reaction zone of the reactor, thereby providing a steady-state environment on the macro scale in the reaction zone of the reactor. In contrast, solution polymerization conditions use a solvent for the respective components of the reaction. Preferred solvents include mineral oils and the various hydrocarbons that are liquid at reaction temperatures. Illustrative examples of useful solvents include alkanes such as pentane, iso-pentane, hexane, heptane, octane and nonane, as well as mixtures of alkanes including kerosene and Isopar E™, available from Exxon Chemicals Inc.; cycloalkanes such as cyclopentane and cyclohexane; and aromatics such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene and diethylbenzene. At all times, the individual ingredients as well as the recovered catalyst components should be protected from oxygen and moisture. Therefore, the catalyst components and catalysts should be, and preferably are, prepared and recovered in an oxygen and moisture free atmosphere. Preferably, therefore, the reactions are performed in the presence of an dry, inert gas such as, for example, nitrogen. Ethylene is added to a reaction vessel in an amount sufficient to maintain a differential pressure in excess of the combined vapor pressure of the α-olefin and diene monomers. The C 2 content of the polymer is determined by the ratio of C 2 differential pressure to the total reactor pressure. Generally, polymerization occurs with a differential pressure of C 2 of from 10 to 1000 pounds per square inch (psi) (70 to 7000 kPa), most preferably from 40 to 400 psi (30 to 300 kPa). The polymerization temperature is suitably from 25 to 200 °C, preferably from 65 to 170 °C, and most preferably from greater than 75 to 140 °C. 52 Polymerization may occur in either a batch or a continuous polymerization process A continuous process is preferred, in which event catalyst, ethylene, α-olefin, diene and optional solvent are continuously supplied to the reaction zone and polymer product continuously removed therefrom. Without limiting in any way the scope of the invention, one means for carrying out such a polymerization process is as follows: In a stirred-tank reactor, α-olefin monomer is introduced continuously together with solvent, diene monomer and C monomer. The reactor contains a liquid phase composed substantially of C 2 , C 3 and diene monomers together with any solvent or additional diluent. If desired, a small amount of a "H"-branch inducing diene such as norbornadiene, 1 ,7-octadiene or 1 ,9-decadiene may also be added. Catalyst and cocatalyst are continuously introduced in the reactor liquid phase. The reactor temperature and pressure may be controlled by adjusting the solvent/monomer ratio, the catalyst addition rate, as well as by cooling or heating coils, jackets or both. The polymerization rate is controlled by the rate of catalyst addition. The ethylene content of the polymer product is determined by the amounts of ethylene, α-olefin and diene in the reactor, which are controlled by manipulating the respective feed rates of these components to the reactor. The polymer product molecular weight is controlled, optionally, by controlling other polymerization variables such as the temperature, monomer concentration, or by a stream of hydrogen introduced to the reactor, as is well known in the art. The reactor effluent is contacted with a catalyst kill agent such as water. The polymer solution is optionally heated, and the polymer product is recovered by flashing off gaseous ethylene and propylene as well as residual diene and residual solvent or diluent at reduced pressure, and, if necessary, conducting further devolatilization in equipment such as a devolatilizing extruder. In a continuous process, the mean residence time of the catalyst and polymer in the reactor generally is from 5 minutes to 8 hours, and preferably from 10 minutes to 6 hours. In a preferred manner of operation, the polymerization is conducted in a continuous solution polymerization system comprising two reactors connected in series or parallel. In one reactor, a relatively high molecular weight product (M w from 300,000 to 600,000, more preferably 325,000 to 500,000) is formed while, in the second reactor, a product of a relatively low molecular weight (M w 50,000 to 300,000) is formed. As an alternative, the same molecular weight product can be produced in each of the two reactors. The final product is a blend of the two reactor effluents that are combined prior to devolatilization to result in a uniform blend of the two polymer products. Such a dual reactor process allows for the preparation of products having improved properties. In a preferred embodiment, the reactors are connected in series, that is effluent from the first reactor is charged to the second reactor and fresh monomer, solvent and hydrogen are added to the second reactor. Reactor conditions are adjusted such 7252 that the weight ratio of polymer produced in the first reactor to that produced in the second reactor is from 20:80 to 80:20. If desired, however, a broader range of weight ratios may be used. In addition, the temperature of the second reactor is controlled to produce the lower M w product. This system beneficially allow for production of EAODM products having a large MV range, as well as excellent strength and processability. Preferably the MV of the resulting product is adjusted to fall in the range from 1 to 150, more preferably from 10 to 120 and most preferably from 15 to 100. Although this preferred manner of operation employs two reactors, three or more reactors may also be used. Examples The following examples illustrate but do not, either explicitly or by implication, limit the present invention. Unless otherwise stated, all parts and percentages are expressed on a weight basis. Examples of the present invention are identified by Arabic numerals and comparative examples are represented by letters of the alphabet. For catalyst examples, H and 13 C NMR spectra are recorded on a Varian XL (300 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts are determined relative to TMS (tetramethylsilane) or through residual CHCI 3 in CDCI 3 or residual C 6 HD 5 in C 6 D 6 , relative to TMS. Tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethylether, toluene, and hexane are used following passage through double columns charged with activated alumina and alumina supported mixed metal oxide catalyst (Q-5® catalyst, available from Engelhard Corp.) The compounds n-BuLi, KH, all Grignard reagents, and 1 ,4-diphenyl-1 ,3-butadiene are all used as purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company. All catalyst syntheses are performed under dry nitrogen atmosphere using a combination of glove box and high vacuum techniques. Polymer example preparation employs either a continuous process or a batch process. With a batch process, monomers and other specified components are added to a reactor apparatus before starting the process. For a continuous process, monomers are added to a reactor apparatus as needed, with flow rate variation being used to alter monomer concentrations. Each example specifies the process type and conditions. Process run times of one to two hours generally suffice to allow the reaction to reach an equilibrium and provide representative polymer samples for analysis. Physical property evaluation of EAODM polymers uses a number of standard tests: MV; compositional analysis via Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR) (ASTM D3900); and density (ASTM D-792). Other definitive properties include B value, determined as previously described, rheology ratio, determined as described below, and reactivity ratio product, also determined as described below. Rheology ratio (V 0 .ι/Vιoo) is determined by examining samples using melt rheology techniques on a Rheometric Scientific, Inc. ARES (Advanced Rheometric Expansion System) dynamic mechanical spectrometer (DMS). The samples are examined at 190°C using the dynamic frequency mode and 25 mm diameter parallel plate fixtures with a 2 mm gap. With a strain rate of 8% and an oscillatory rate that is incrementally increased from 0.1 to 100 radians per second (rad/s), 5 data points taken for each decade of frequency analyzed. Each sample (either pellets or bale) is compression molded into 3 inch (1.18 centimeter (cm)) plaques 1/8 inch (0.049 cm) thick at 20,000 psi (137.9 megapascals (MPa)) pressure for 1 minute at 180°C. The plaques are quenched and cooled (over a period of 1 minute) to room temperature. A 25 mm plaque is cut from the center portion of the larger plaque. These 25mm diameter aliquots are then inserted into the ARES at 190°C and allowed to equilibrate for 5 minutes prior to initiation of testing. The samples are maintained in a nitrogen environment throughout the analyses to minimize oxidative degradation. Data reduction and manipulation are accomplished by the ARES2/A5:RSI Orchestrator Windows 95 based software package. The V 0 .ι/V 10 o ratio (rheology ratio or "RR") measures the slope of the viscosity versus shear rate curve. Reactivity ratios, r1 and r2, are calculated from the diad and triad distributions in the 13c NMR spectrum based on a terminal copolymerization model, and the reactivity ratio product (RRP) is then obtained by multiplying these two values (r1 and r2). ^C NMR sample preparation is as detailed above. Polymer crystallinity is determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a TA DSC-2920 equipped with a liquid nitrogen cooling accessory. Samples are prepared as thin films and placed in aluminum pans. They are heated initially to 180 υ C and maintained at this temperature for four minutes to ensure substantially complete melting. They are then cooled at 10°C per minute to -100°C before being reheated to150°C at 10°C per minute. The Tg is obtained from the melting point curve using the first derivative of temperature. The total heat of fusion is obtained from the area under the melting curve. The percent crystallinity is determined by dividing the total heat of fusion by the heat of fusion value for polyethylene (292 joules per gram (J/g)). Catalyst efficiency (Cat. Eff.) is specified in terms of million pounds of polymer per pound of Group IV metal in the catalyst (MM#/#). For the batch process, it is determined by weighing the polymer product and dividing by the amount of Group IV metal added to the reactor. For a continuous process, polymer product weight is determined by measured ethylene or vent conversion. Examples of EAODM polymers that represent the present invention employ a catalyst prepared as described below whereas comparative example EAODM polymers are prepared using a constrained geometry catalyst such as described in US-A-5,491 ,246; US-A- 5,486,632;and US-A-5,470,993.

Ten equivalents of a mixture of isomers of 2,4-hexadiene (0.822 mL, 7.21 mmol) are added to the contents of the flask to form a mixture. Two and a quarter equivalents of a 2.0 M Et 2 0 solution of n-BuMgCI (0.81 mL, 1.62 mmol) are added to the mixture to form a reaction mixture. The flask is fitted with a condenser and the reaction mixture is heated to reflux for one hour. Upon cooling, volatiles are removed under reduced pressure to leave a residue that is then extracted with hexane and filtered through a diatomaceous earth filter aid on a 10-15 mm glass frit. The hexane is removed under reduced pressure to afford 0.29 grams (g) of a brown oily solid as a desired product (equivalent to a 94% yield). The product, as characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR, is (t-butylamido)dimethyl(η 5 -2-methyl-s-indacen- 1-yl)silanetitanium (ID 2,4-hexadiene. Example 3 - Synthesis of the complex of Formula VII and VIII Using the apparatus and procedure of Example 2, save for substituting 15 equivalents of a mixture of isomers of 1 ,3-pentadiene (1.08 mL, 10.81 mmol) for the 10 equivalents of the mixture of hexadiene isomers, two equivalents of a 2.5 M hexane solution of n-Buϋ (0.58 mL, 1.44 mmol) for the 2.25 equivalents of the 2.0 M Et 2 0 solution of n-BuMgCI and increasing the reflux time to three hours, 0.257g of a brown oily solid (86% yield).

Examples 4-7 are prepared using the catalyst of Example 1. Comparative Example A is prepared using (tetramethylcyclo- pentadienyl)dimethyl(t-butylamido)silanetitanium 1 ,3-pentadiene as the catalyst. The cocatalyst for all five samples is FAB. The scavenging compound for Examples 4-5 and Comparative Example A is MMAO (triisobutyl aluminum modified methylalumoxane). The scavenging compounds for Examples 6 and 7 are, respectively, DIEL-N ((diisopropylamido)diethylaluminum) and DIBAL-NS ((bistrimethylsilylamido)diisobutyl- aluminum). The ratio of moles of FAB to moles of titanium (Ti) is 3.0 for Examples 4-7 and 3.6 for Comparative Example A. The melt index (Ml) for Comparative Example A is 25.0 g/10 minutes. Ml is used for Comparative Example A because it has a M w that is too low to measure a MV. Examples 4-7 have a sufficiently high M w to measure a MV. A further comparitive example (B) is produced in a similar manner, but without hydrogen. The compostion of this polymer is similar to that of Examples 4-7, and the removal of hydrogen permits production of a polymer with a closer match on molecular weight. Referring to Figure 1 , ethylene (4), propylene (5), and hydrogen (6) are combined into one stream (16) before being introduced into a diluent mixture (3) comprising a mixed alkane solvent (Isopar-E™, available from Exxon Chemicals Inc.) (1) and diene (2) to form a combined feed mixture (7) that is continuously injected into the reactor (10). The catalyst (8) and a blend of the cocatalyst and scavenging compound (9) are combined into a single stream (17), also continuously injected into the reactor. Table IA shows flow rates for solvent, ethylene (C 2 ) and propylene (C 3 ) in pounds per hour (pph). Table IA also shows the percent conversion of C 2 and polymer production rate (in pph). Table IB shows concentrations of catalyst (Cat), cocatalyst (Cocat) and scavenger (Scav) in parts per million parts of Al (ppm). Table IB also shows a ratio of cocat to metal (M), where M is titanium (Ti), and flow rates, in pph, for Cat, Cocat and Scav. Table IC shows Reactor Temperature (Temp) in °C, hydrogen flow, in standard cubic centimeters per minute (seem), ENB flow rate (pph), a ratio of scavenger.titanium (Scav/Ti) and polymer properties (MV, Ml, and EAODM composition (as determined by FTIR)), B Value, V 0 .ι A/10 0 and RRP. A reactor exit stream (15) is continuously introduced into a separator (11), where molten polymer is continuously separated from the unreacted comonomer, unreacted ethylene, unreacted hydrogen, unreacted ENB, and solvent (14). The molten polymer is subsequently strand chopped or pelietized and, after being cooled in a water bath or pelletizer (12), the solid pellets are collected (13). Table IA I 00 00 I 97/07252 ω _ > H Table IC means not measured 7252 The data presented in Table IC illustrate several points. First, under essentially the same reaction conditions, the M w of the Example 4-7 polymers are an order of magnitude greater than that of Comparative example A as exemplified by MV measurements. This M w increase is not dramatically affected by the type of scavenger used in the reaction. Second, at equal ENB flow rates (Example 4 and comparative example A) there is a 66.7% increase in ENB incorporation into the polymer. In order to obtain an ENB concentration like that of Comparative Example A, the ENB flow rate must be reduced from 0.7 pph to 0.4 pph for Examples 5-7. A comparison of Comparative Example A with Example 5 shows a dramatically improved catalyst efficiency in producing essentially the same polymer from an ENB incorporation point of view. The data in Table IC also suggest that the polymers of the present invention, as represented by Examples 4-7, have desirable shear thinning behavior and a satisfactory level of long chain branching. The V 0 .ι/V 10 o ratio (rheology ratio) is a means of measuring the slope of a viscosity versus shear rate curve. A high V 0 . 1 N 100 ratio, like that of examples 4-7, suggests greater shear sensitivity or shear thinning relative to a low Vo.i/Vi 00 ratio, like that of Comparative Example B. As shear thinning is typically affected by both MWD and level of long chain branching and as the polymers of Examples 4-7 and Comparative Examples A and B all have similar molecular weight distributions (MWD), a higher V 0 .ιNιoo ratio also indicates more long chain branching. Polymers of this invention have a higher rheology ratio at the same MV as comparative polymers as evidenced by comparing Examples 4-7 with Comparative Example B. Comparative Example B, prepared in the absence of hydrogen, has a lower V 0 .ι/Vι 0 o ratio than any of Examples 4-7. As the lack of hydrogen generally results in a higher level of vinyl unsaturation and hence enhanced long chain branching and higher shear thinning behavior and higher V 0 .ι/V 0 o ratio, the data suggest that hydrogen need not be excluded from the process of the present invention. Example 8. Terpolymerization of ethylene, propylene, and ENB is carried out using a 3.8 L stainless steel reactor charged with 1448 g of Isopar E™ (mixed alkanes, available from Exxon Chemicals, Inc.), 230.3 g of propylene, 32.9 g of ENB, and 13.8 millimoles (mMol) of hydrogen. The reactor is heated to 100°C and then saturated with ethylene to 460 psig (3.24 MPa). The catalyst is prepared in a dry box by syringing together 1.0 micromol (0.005 M solution) of the Example 1 catalyst, 1.5 micromol (0.0075 M solution) of FAB as the cocatalyst, 10.0 micromol (0.050 M solution) of (diisopropylamido)diethylaluminum as the scavenger, and sufficient Isopar E™ to give a total volume of 18 mL. The catalyst solution is then transferred via syringe to a catalyst addition loop and injected into the reactor over approximately 4 minutes using a flow of high pressure solvent. Polymerization is allowed to proceed for 10 minutes while feeding ethylene on demand to maintain a pressure of 460 psig (3.24 MPa). The amount of ethylene consumed during the reaction is monitored using a mass flow meter. The polymer solution is then poured from the reactor into a nitrogen-purged glass kettle and about 2000 parts per million parts of polymer (ppm) of stabilizer (Irgafos 186™ and Irganox™ 1076) is added and mixed well with the polymer solution. The stabilized polymer solution is poured into a tray, air dried overnight, and then thoroughly dried in a vacuum oven set at a temperature of 120°C for one day. The yield of terpolymer is 89.7 g, and the Cat. Eff. is 1.9 million. The terpolymer has a C 2 /C 3 weight ratio of 2.1 (64.5 wt% C 2 , 30.1 wt% C 3 ), and an ENB content of 5.5 wt%. The MV is 84.4 and the molecular weight (M w ) is 185,500 with a MWD (M w /M n ) of 2.04. The B value is 0.96 and the RRP for ethylene/ propylene is 1.16. The terpolymer has a T g of -44.9°C and crystallinity of 4.2%. Example 9 Using the apparatus, catalyst and procedure of Example 8, an ethylene/propylene/ENB terpolymer is prepared by charging the reactor with 1457 g of Isopar E™, 232.4 g of propylene, 33.8 g of ENB, and 13.8 mMol of hydrogen. The terpolymer yield is 104.7 g, and the Cat. Eff. is 2.2 million. The terpolymer has a weight ratio of ethylene to propylene of 2.0 (65.4 wt% ethylene, 32.1 wt% propylene), and an ENB content of 2.5 wt%. The MV is 33.0 and the M w is 134,300 with a MWD of 1.78. The B value is 0.94 and the RRP for ethylene/ propylene is 1.21. The terpolymer has a T g of -46.9°C and a crystallinity of 6.2%. Comparative Example C (C05R03) Using the apparatus and procedure of Examples 4-7 and Comparative examples A and B and (tetramethylcyclo-pentadienyl)dimethyl(t-butylamido)silanetitanium dimethyl as the catalyst, FAB as the co-catalyst and MMAO as a scavenging compound, an ethylene/propylene/ENB terpolymer is prepared by flowing into the reactor the amounts shown in the following tables. The Al/Ti ratio is 6:1 , the MMAO flow rate is 0.3 pph and the MMAO concentration is 24.91 ppm, based on . As in Comparative Example B, there is no hydrogen flow. Tables IIA and IIB show polymerization parameters and properties of the resultant polymer. Table IIA Table IIB I 00 I The data in Table IIB, like that presented in Table IC for Comparative Example B, demonstrate that polymers produced in accordance with the present invention, even if made from the same starting materials and under the same conditions, but with a different catalyst, clearly differ from those made with the latter catalyst. Example 10 Using the apparatus and procedure of Example 8 and the catalyst of Example 2, an ethylene/butene-1/ENB terpolymer is prepared by charging the reactor with 1455 g of Isopar E™, 303.3 g of butene-1 , 42.6 g of ENB, and 9.46 mMol of hydrogen. The terpolymer yield is 83.0 g, and the Cat. Eff. is 1.2 million. The resulting elastomer had a MW of 168,700, a MWD of 2.02, a Ml of 1.7 g/10 min and a crystallinity of 13%. Comparative Example D Using the apparatus and procedure of Example 8 and a different catalyst, an ethylene/butene-1/ENB terpolymer is prepared by charging the reactor with 1443 g of Isopar E™, 304.7 g of butene-1 , 90.9 g of ENB, and 9.5 mMol of hydrogen. The catalyst is prepared in a dry box by syringing together 2.0 micromol (0.005 M solution) of the metal complex (tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)dimethyl (t-butylamido)-silanetitanium (II) 1 ,3-pentadiene, 6.0 micromol (0.015 M solution) of the Example 8 cocatalyst, 50.0 micromol (0.125 M solution) of the Example 8 scavenger, and sufficient Isopar E™ to give a total volume of 18 mL. The catalyst solution is then transferred into the reactor as in Example 8. The terpolymer yield is 157.7 g, and the Cat. Eff. is 1.6 million. The terpolymer has a MW of 46,700, MWD of 1.97 a Ml of 201.7 and a crystallinity of 10.5%. The difference in MW between the terpolymers of Example 10 and Comparative Example D significantly affects polymer properties such as Tensile at Break (ASTM D1708) and Percent Elongation at Break (ASTM D1708) Example 10 has a Tensile at Break of 1150 psi (8.90 MPa) as opposed to 375 psi (2.64 MPa) for Comparative Example C, and an Percent Elongation at Break of 840 as opposed to 567 for Comparative Example C. This data evidence the effect of changing catalysts upon resulting polymers. Examples 11-13 and Comparative Example E Using the apparatus and procedure of Example 8, and the catalyst of Example 1 for Examples 11. 13 and 14, the catalyst of Example 2 for Example 12 and the catalyst of Comparative Example A for Comparative Example E, and varying cocatalysts, four ethylene/propylene/ENB terpolymers are prepared using the ingredient amounts shown in Table III A. The cocatalyst for Example 12 and Comparative Example E is FAB. The cocatalyst for Examples 11 , 13 and 14 is di(hydrogenated-tallowalkyl)methylammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. Polymerization results are shown in Table NIB. The scavenger for Examples 11 , 13 and 14 is (diisopropylamido)diethylaluminum. The scavenger for Example 12 is DIBAL-NS and for Comparative Example E is a MMAO __ -n Table 11 IB I I ~ means not measured The data in Table IIIB demonstrate that use of a preferred catalyst in the process of the present invention yields polymers having a greater ENB content, a higher M w or both relative to polymers produced under the same conditions, but with another catalyst. Example 15 Using the catalyst of Example 3, FAB as the cocatalyst, MMAO as the scavenger, and the procedure and apparatus of Example 8, an ethylene/propylene/ENB interpolymer is prepared using the ingredient amounts shown in Table IVA.
