Abstract
A catalyst system with at least one specifically substituted metallocene which contains a cationic group as a substituent, a process for preparing such a catalyst system and its use in the polymerization of olefins. In particular, said catalyst system has (a) at least one support, (b) at least one cocatalyst and (c) at least one metallocene of the formula where M1, R1, R2, R3, m, m′, A, k and X are defined herein.
Claims8
A catalyst system comprising
- a) at least one support
- b) at least one cocatalyst and
- c) at least one metallocene of the formula (I)
- where
- M1 is a transition metal of Group 4 of the Periodic Table of the Elements,
- R1 and R2 are identical or different and are each a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a C1-C20 group,
- R3 are identical or different and are each a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a C1-C40 group, and two groups R3 may form a monocyclic or polycyclic ring system which may in turn be substituted, where at least one of the groups R1, R2, R3 bears or is a cationic group (—DEL)+Y−,
- where
- D is an atom of group 15 or 16 of the Periodic Table of the Elements,
- E are identical or different and are each a hydrogen atom or a C1-C20 group, and two groups E may form a monocyclic or polycyclic ring system which may in turn be substituted,
- L is 3 when D is an atom of group 15 of the Periodic Table of the Elements and is 2 when D is an atom of group 16 of the Periodic Table of the Elements,
- Y is halogen, C1-C10-alkylsulfonate, C1-C10-haloalkylsulfonate, C6-C20-arylsulfonate, C6-C20-haloarylsulfonate, C7-C20-alkylarylsulfonate, C1-C20-haloalkylcarboxylate, C1-C10-alkylsulfate, tetrafluoroborate, hexafluorophosphate, hexafluoroantimonate or hexafluoroarsenate,
- m is an integer less than or equal to 4 and greater than or equal to 1,
- m′ is an integer less than or equal to 4 and greater than or equal to 1,
- k is zero or 1, with the metallocene being unbridged when k=0 and the metallocene being bridged when k=1,
- A is a bridge of the formula
- or ═BR4, AlR4, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, ═NR4, ═PR4, ═P(O)R4, o-phenylene or 2,2′-biphenylene, where
- M2 is carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, nitrogen or phosphorus,
- o is 1, 2, 3 or 4,
- R4 and R5 are identical or different and are each, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom, halogen or a C1-C20 group and R4 and R5 may form a monocyclic or polycyclic ring system,
- X are identical or different and are each a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a C1-C10-alkyl group, a C6-C15-aryl group, a C1-C10-alkoxy group, a C6-C15-aryloxy group or a benzyl group.
