Patent ID: 11186601

Abstract:
This invention relates to metallocene compounds represented by the formula: catalyst systems comprising said metallocene compound and an activator or a reaction product of the metallocene compound with the at least one activator, and polymerization processes using such metallocene compounds and activators, where Cpa and Cpb are optionally-substituted cyclopentadienyl rings; A is bridging group; q is zero or 1; Q is O, O(CR3R4)m, (CR3R4)mO, or (CR3R4)m; m is 0 to 18; Z is (CR3R4)2; LA is a Lewis acid; M is a transition metal; X1 and X2 are independently R5 or OR5; R1 and R2 are independently selected from optionally-substituted hydrocarbyl groups; R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, halogen, and an optionally-substituted hydrocarbyl group; and R5 is alkyl, aryl, perfluoroalkyl, or perfluoroaryl.
