Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored the use of metallocenes with a 2-indenyl substituent for creating more effective catalysts in ethene/α-olefin copolymerization, a previously overlooked area.
- The study demonstrated that these catalysts can produce linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and are relatively easy to synthesize, allowing for various structural adaptations.
- Screening of 28 catalysts revealed that the top-performing catalyst exhibited strong comonomer affinity and the ability to produce high molecular weight at relevant industrial temperatures, with steric factors playing a key role in the observed trends.

In the title compounds, [ZrBr(CHN)], (I) and [ZrBr(CHN)], (II), the positions of the η-binding 2-di-methyl-amino-indenyl units are fixed by intra-molecular C-H⋯Br inter-actions involving aromatic or di-methyl-amino H atoms. The binuclear mol-ecule of (I) is located on a general position, while the mononuclear mol-ecule of (II) is situated on a twofold rotation axis. Both Zr atoms in (I) are ligated by one cyclo-penta-dienyl (CP) ring and four Br ligands (two bridging, two terminal), while in (II) the Zr atom is ligated by two CP rings and two terminal Br ligands.
