Metallocene compound, catalyst containing the same, process for producing olefin polymer using the catalyst, and olefin homopolymer and copolymer

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve shortcomings of metallocene compounds of the present technology standard and to provide metallocenes that increase desirable characteristics such as high melting point, high molar mass homopolymers and high molar mass copolymers, and do so at higher productivities when used as components of supported catalysts under industrially relevant polymerization conditions at temperatures of from 50 to 100°C.SOLUTION: Certain metallocene compounds are provided that, when used as a component in a supported polymerization catalyst under industrially relevant polymerization conditions, afford high molar mass homo polymers or copolymers like polypropylene or propylene/ethylene copolymers without the need for any α-branched substituent in either of the two available 2-positions of the indenyl ligands.
