Abstract
Catalyst compositions for the polymerization of an olefin are disclosed which comprise a neutral metallocene and, as the ionizing agent an anionic aluminum-containing complex which is a fluorinated alkoxy and/or aryloxy aluminate. The fluorinated alkoxy aluminate can be of the formula A.sup.+ (Al(OR).sub.4).sup.-, where A.sup.+ is a cation capable of reacting with the neutral metallocene to produce a cationic metallocene and a non-reacting neutral species and R is a fluorinated alkyl and/or aryl group, with a representative group for A.sup.+ being (C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3 C.sup.+ and with the representative fluorinated alkoxy aluminates including �Al(OC(Ph)(CF.sub.3).sub.2).sub.4 !.sup.-, where Ph is phenyl, and �Al(OC(CH.sub.3)(CF.sub.3).sub.2).sub.4 !.sup.-.
