Abstract

The present invention provides a tethered bridged metallocene compound in which the tether typically comprises a segment of the formula --(R.sup.2).sub.d --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.e (CH.dbd.CH).sub.f wherein R.sup.2 is an alkylene or phenylene group, and d, e and f are 1 or 0. One end of the tether reacts with a silane bridged metallocene compound and the other reacts with the support. The activated metallocene compound is capable of producing a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution.
