Mixed catalyst systems containing bridged metallocenes with a pendant group 13 element, processes for making a polymer product using same, and products made from same

A mixed metallocene catalyst system comprising at least one first metallocene catalyst compound represented by formula (A) below, at least one second metallocene catalyst compound different from the at least one first metallocene catalyst compound represented by formula (A), activator, optional support, and optional scavenger, wherein formula (A) is:

• wherein:
• each of R4 and R5 is a hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched linear, or cyclic C1-C30 hydrocarbyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched linear, or cyclic C1-C30 hydrosilylcarbyl group;
• R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched linear, or cyclic C1-C30hydrocarbyl group, or R1 and R2, taken together with the carbon atoms in the first cyclopentadienyl ring to which they are directly connected, collectively form one or more substituted or unsubstituted rings annelated to the first cyclopentadienyl ring;
• each of R10 and R11 is a hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched linear, or cyclic C1-C30 hydrocarbyl group;
• R12 and R13 are each independently a hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched linear, or cyclic C1-C30 hydrocarbyl group, or R12 and R13, taken together with the carbon atoms in the second cyclopentadienyl ring to which they are directly connected, collectively form one or more substituted or unsubstituted rings annelated to the second cyclopentadienyl ring;
• M is Hf, Ti, or Zr, and v is 4;
• each X is independently a halogen, a hydride, an alkoxide, a substituted alkoxide, or a C1-C20 linear, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbyl group substituted with a heteroatom or heteroatom containing group, or a C1-C20 linear, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbyl group, or two or more X moieties optionally form a fused ring or ring system;
• m is an integer equal to v-2;
• and
• the bridging group (BG) comprises -[BA(R20)2]n—, wherein:
• n is an integer from 1 to 3;
• each BA, the same or different at each occurrence, is independently carbon, silicon, or germanium;
• and each R20, the same or different at each occurrence, is each independently a C1-C8 substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbyl group or a pendant group having a formula —R21-G13(X*)2, where each G13 is a group 13 element, each R21is independently a C1-C8 substituted or unsubstituted linear, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbyl group, and each X* is independently a halogen, a hydride, an alkoxide, a substituted alkoxide, or a C1-C20 substituted or unsubstituted linear or branched hydrocarbyl group, a C1-C20 cyclic hydrocarbyl group, or optionally two or more X* moieties optionally form a fused ring or ring system, provided that at least one R20 is a pendant group of the formula —R21-G13(X*)2.
