Abstract

This contribution describes the synthesis and polymerization characteristics of the covalently linked heterobinuclear constrained-geometry polymerization catalyst (μ-CH ₂CH ₂-3,3′) {(η ⁵-indenyl)[1-Me ₂Si( ^tBuN)]-(TiMe ₂)}{(η ⁵-indenyl)[1-Me ₂Si( ^tBuN)](ZrMe ₂)} (Ti ₁Zr ₁). When activated with Ph ₃C ⁺B(C ₆F ₅) ₄ ^-, it is competent to produce long-chain (≥C ₆) branched polyethylenes in ethylene homopolymerization, in sharp contrast to control experiments with mixtures of analogous but mononuclear Zr and Ti CGC catalysts.
