Abstract
A catalyst system comprises an organometallic complex of a group 4 metal having a ketimide ligand. The organometallic complex preferably also contains a cyclic ligand which forms a delocalized pi-bond with the metal (such as a cyclopentadienyltype ligand). Preferred organometallic complexes may be activated with a so-called “substantially non coordinating anion” to form a low cost cocatalyst system which is excellent for the preparation of olefin copolymers having both high molecular weight and very low density.
