Polymethylaluminoxane supported zirconocene catalysts for polymerisation of ethylene

We report here the synthesis of two new ansa-bridged permethylindenyl zirconocenes, their reaction with solid polymethylaluminoxane (sMAO) and their use in slurry phase ethylene polymerisation. Meso-(EBI*)Zr(CH2Ph)2 and meso-(EBI*)Zr(CH2tBu)Cl, (EBI* = ethylenebis[1-(2,3,4,5,6,7-hexamethylindenyl)])...
