Abstract

The present invention relates to catalyst systems, processes for making such catalysts, intermediates for such catalysts, and olefin polymerization processes using such catalysts wherein such catalyst includes a component represented by the following formula 1A: whereinR and R′ independently represent a hydrogen atom, or a substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched hydrocarbyl or organosilyl radical;R1, R2, and R3 independently represent a hydrogen atom, or a substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched hydrocarbyl radical;M is a group IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB or VIII transition metal;T independently represents a univalent anionic ligand such as a hydrogen atom, or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl halogeno, aryloxido, arylorganosilyl, alkyloriganosilyl, amido, arylamido, phosphido, or arylphosphido group, or two T groups taken together represent an alkylidene or a cyclometallated hydrocarbyl bidentate ligand;L independently represents a sigma donor stabilizing ligand; X, which is optional, represents a relatively weakly coordinated anion; anda=0 to 4 inclusive, b=0 to 4 inclusive, provided a+b≦4.
