Abstract

A process for forming tactic polymers employing at least one olefin polymerization catalyst comprising a non-racemic mixture of the R- and S-enantiomers of a metal complex containing at least one asymmetrically substituted (chiral) carbon atom, and a chain shuttling agent, a polar aprotic organic compound, or both a chain shuttling agent and a polar aprotic organic compound.
