Phosphinimine amido-ether complexes

A complex having the formula (PI)(AE)ML2, wherein:

• PI is a phosphinimine ligand defined by the formula:
• wherein each R1 is independently selected from a group consisting of a hydrogen atom;
• a C1-30 hydrocarbyl radical, which hydrocarbyl radical is unsubstituted or further substituted by a halogen atom;
• a C1-10 alkoxy radical;
• a C6-10 aryl or aryloxy radical;
• an amido radical;
• a silyl radical or a germanyl radical;
• II) AE is an amido-ether ligand defined by the formula:
• wherein:
• Q is a bridging group between oxygen, O, and nitrogen, N2, and contains one or more atoms selected from group consisting of Group 13 to 16 elements;
• R2 is a group containing 1 to 50 atoms selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and Group 13 to 17 elements;
• R3 is a group containing 1 to 50 atoms selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and Group 13 to 17 elements;
• and
• wherein the R2 group optionally joins together with the bridging group Q;
• and the oxygen atom O, and the nitrogen atom N2, are substituents on adjacent atoms of an aryl group;
• III) each L is an activatable ligand;
• and
• IV) M is a metal selected from the group consisting of Zr and Hf, and wherein N1, N2 and optionally O are bonded to M.
