Metallocene Catalyst Compositions and Polymerization Process Therewith

A metallocene catalyst compound represented by the formula:

• wherein
• R2 and R8 are, independently, a C1 to C20 linear alkyl group, provided that at least one of R2 and R8 must have at least 4 carbon atoms;
• R4 and R10 are substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups, provided that at least one of the aryl groups is:
• 1) substituted at an othro position with at least one group selected from C1 to C40 hydrocarbyls, heteroatoms, and heteroatom containing groups and/or 2) substituted at the 3′, 4′ or 5′ position with at least one group selected from C1 to C40 hydrocarbyls, heteroatoms, and heteroatom containing groups;
• M is a group transition 2, 3 or 4 metal;
• T is a bridging group;
• each X is an anionic leaving group;
• each R1, R3, R5, R6, R7, R9, R11, R12, R13, and R14 is, independently, hydrogen, or a hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, halocarbyl, substituted halocarbyl, silylcarbyl, substituted silylcarbyl, germylcarbyl, or substituted germylcarbyl substituents.
