Patent ID: RE41897

Claim:
A process for polymerizing olefin(s) comprising , combining said olefin( s ) , a catalyst composition having a first catalyst system component comprising a Group 15 containing bidentate or tridentate ligated Group 3 to 7 metal compound wherein the Group 3 to 7 metal atom is bound to at least one leaving group and to at least two three Group 15 atoms, and wherein at least one of the at least two of the Group 15 atoms is bound to a Group 15 or 16 atom are each bound to the third Group 15 atom through a bridging group; and a second catalyst system component, wherein said second catalyst component is a metallocene compound; wherein said first catalyst component and said second catalyst component are added to a polymerization reactor in one of a solution, a suspension or an emulsion; wherein the polymerization process is a continuous gas or slurry phase process, and wherein the Group 15 containing tridentate ligand Group 3 to 7 metal compound is represented by the formula: wherein R 8 to R 12 are each independently a methyl, ethyl, propyl, or butyl group .
