Patent ID: 7009012

Claim:
A supported catalyst comprising: a polymer having at least one polar group; a support having a surface that is reactive with a catalyst; and a catalyst comprising a transition metal compound, wherein the polymer insulates the catalyst from the surface of the support such that the catalyst does not react with the surface of the support, and wherein the transition metal compound is at least one compound represented by formulas I–V: MR 1 a R 2 b R 3 c X 4−(a+b+c) (I) MR 1 d R 2 e X 3−(d+e) (II) where M, M 1 , and M 2 is an atom of Group IVB; R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkylaryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an arylalkyl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryloxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cyclopentadienyl group, a substituted cyclopentadienyl group or an indenyl group, wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 may be the same or different; X is a halogen atom; R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 are independently an alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an arylene group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkylarylene group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an arylalkylene group having 6 to 20 carbon, a cyclopentadienylene group, a substituted cyclopentadienylene group or an indenylene group, wherein R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 may be the same or different; a, b and c are an integer of 0 to 4; d and e are an integer of 0 to 3; and f is independently an integer of 0 to 2.
