Abstract
A process is provided to prepare polyolefins having a multimodal molecular weight distribution comprising contacting at least one mono-1-olefin in a polymerization zone, under polymerization conditions, with a dual catalyst system comprising a first catalyst system which comprises a metallocene catalyst and a cocatalyst and a second catalyst system which comprises diimine nickel complexes which further comprise additional ligands selected from the group consisting of ∝-deprotoned-&bgr;-diketones, ∝-deprotoned-&bgr;-ketoesters, halogens and mixtures thereof. The resultant, recovered polymer has at least a bimodal, or broad, molecular weight distribution.
