Novel group 4 complexes for the polymerization and copolymerization of olefins

A new synthetic route to C-2 bridged indenyl metallocenes utilizing the anion of 1-indanone has been developed. Two new ansa-zirconocene complexes, isopropylidene(cyclopentadienyl)(2-indenyl)ZfCl2 ( 1a) and isopropylidene (cyclopentadienyl)(2-(1-methyl-indenyl))ZrCl 2 (1b) were synthesized and exami...
