Abstract
Aromatic silane compounds containing at least an aromatic ring bound directly to the silicon atom, wherein the aromatic ring has at least one substituent located in the ortho position selected from C1-10 hydrocarbon groups, are useful as electron donors in olefin polymerization catalysts for the production of polyolefins having a stereoblock content of from about 7 to about 25%.
Claims7
An aromatic silane compound having formula (I):
- wherein
- R1 is chosen from linear or branched C1-26 alkyl, C2-26 alkenyl, C1-26 alkoxy, C2-26 alkoxyalkyl, C7-26 arylalkyl, C3-26 cycloalkyl and C4-26 cycloalkoxy groups, optionally containing one or more halogen atoms;
- R2 is an aromatic ring having at least one substituent in the ortho position, the substituent being chosen from linear or branched C1-10 alkyl and C1-10 alkoxy groups, with the proviso that when R2 comprises a naphthyl group, R1 is a linear C1-C26 alkyl;
- and
- R3 and R4, the same or different from each other, are chosen from linear or branched C1-10 alkyl and C3-10 cycloalkyl groups.
