[0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to USSN 61 / 847,442, filed July 17, 2013. field of invention
[0003] The present invention relates to novel bridged hafnium metallocene compounds comprising an indenyl ligand substituted in the 4-position. Background of the invention
[0004] Olefin polymerization catalysts are of great utility in industry. There is therefore interest in finding new catalyst systems which increase the commercial availability of catalysts and enable the production of polymers with improved properties.
[0005] Catalysts for olefin polymerization are usually based on metallocenes as catalyst precursors, which are activated with the help of aluminoxanes or activators containing non-coordinating anions.
[0006] Useful metallocene catalysts are based on bis-indenyl transition metal compounds. In particular, bridged bis 2-substituted indenyl transition metal compounds and bridged bis 2,4-disubstituted indenyl transiti...
