Catalyst systems and polymerization processes for using the same

The present disclosure provides bridged metallocene catalyst compounds comprising &#x2014;Si&#x2014;Si&#x2014; bridges, catalyst systems comprising such compounds, and uses thereof. Catalyst compounds of the present disclosure can be hafnium-containing compounds having one or more cyclopentadiene ligand(s) substituted with one or more silyl neopentyl groups and linked with an Si&#x2014;Si-containing bridge. In another class of embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to polymerization processes to produce polyolefin polymers from catalyst systems comprising one or more olefin polymerization catalysts, at least one activator, and an optional support.

Metallocenes with Si&#x2014;Si bridges

The present disclosure provides bridged metallocene catalyst compounds including at least two &#x2014;Si&#x2014;Si&#x2014; bridges, catalyst systems including such compounds, and uses thereof. Catalyst compounds of the present disclosure can be hafnium-containing compounds having one or more cyclopentadiene ligand(s) substituted with one or more silyl neopentyl groups and linked with at least two Si&#x2014;Si-containing bridges. In another class of embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to polymerization processes to produce polyolefin polymers from catalyst systems including one or more olefin polymerization catalysts, at least one activator, and an optional support.

Metallocenes with two -Si-Si- bridges

A polyethylene composition comprising from about 0.5 to about 20 wt % of alpha-olefin derived units other than ethylene-derived units, with the balance including ethylene-derived units, total internal unsaturations (Vy1+Vy2+T1) of from about 0.10 to about 0.40 per 1000 carbon atoms, an MI of from about 0.1 to about 6 g/10 min, an HLMI of from about 5.0 to about 40 g/10 min, a density of from about 0.890 to about 0.940 g/ml, a Tw-Twvalue of from about &#x2212;25 to about &#x2212;20&#xb0; C., an Mw/Mwvalue of from about 1.2 to about 2.0, an Mw/Mn of from about 4.5 to about 12, an Mz/Mw of from about 2.0 to about 3.0, an Mz/Mn of from about 7.0 to about 20, and a g'greater than 0.90.
