Abstract

Abstract Organometallic compounds of the general formula LrM(CH2SiR1R2R3)m (1) where M is a transition metal of Groups IIIA to VIA of the Periodic Table of Elements, m is an integer from 1 to the prevailing valency of the metal M, Lr represents the sum of any other incidental ligands attached to the metal M, r being 0 or an integer, and R1, R2 and R3 represent substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl groups or hydrogen atoms, at least one of said groups having the general formula WHERE N IS AN INTEGER FROM 1 TO 5 AND Y is a group capable of donating electrons to the metal M are useful as catalysts for olefin polymerization. The compounds may be used as catalysts alone or when supported upon a matrix for example of alumina. Particularly useful compounds are those in which the transition metal M has a valency lower than the maximum valency for that metal.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 80 words
An organometallic compound of the formula M(CH.sub.2 SiR.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3).sub.m where M is selected from transition metals of Groups IIIA to VIA of the Periodic Table of Elements, m is the prevailing valency of the metal M, said prevailing valency being 2, 3 or 4, and R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, benzyl and alkoxyphenyl, at least one of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 being alkenyl, benzyl or alkoxyphenyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 80 words
An organometallic compound of the formula M(CH.sub.2 SiR.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3).sub.m where M is selected from transition metals of Groups IIIA to VIA of the Periodic Table of Elements, m is the prevailing valency of the metal M, said prevailing valency being 2, 3 or 4, and R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, benzyl and alkoxyphenyl, at least one of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 being alkenyl, benzyl or alkoxyphenyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 44 words
A compound as claimed in claim 1 in which at least one of said groups R 1 R 2 and R 3 is selected from allyl, benzyl and o-methoxy-phenyl groups and any remaining R 1 , R 2 and R 3 groups are methyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
