Abstract

This invention relates to heteroatom substituted cyclopentadienyl-containing ligands, metal complexes containing these ligands, catalyst systems prepared from catalyst components comprising these metal complexes. The metal complexes contain a "a" heteroatom-Cp bond or a ring heteroatom-Cp bond in the 3-position of the Cp. In preferred metal complexes the ligand is a 3-heteroatom substituted indenyl group. The catalyst systems for olefin polymerization may be used at high temperatures, are highly active and produce high molecular weight polymer.
