Synthesis, characterisation and ethylene polymerisation performance of silyl bridged peralkylated bis(indenyl) zirconocenes

Six new peralkylated bis(indenyl) zirconocene complexes have been synthesised and fully characterised; rac-­Me2SB(3-­EtI*)ZrX2 and meso-­Me2SB(3­-EtI*)ZrX2 (X = Cl, Br and CH2Ph). Solution-phase ethylene polymerisation using rac-Me2SB(3-­EtI*)ZrCl2/methylaluminoxane (MAO) and slurry-phase ethylene p...
