Abstract

Single-site catalyst systems containing alkylimido ligands are disclosed. The catalyst systems comprise a co-catalyst and a Group 3-10 transition metal catalyst. The catalyst includes an alkyl- or arylimido ligand and a polymerization-stable, anionic ligand selected from boraaryl, pyrrolyl, and azaborolinyl. When used to polymerize olefins, the catalyst systems are highly productive, give good comonomer incorporation, and give polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions.
