Metallocene Catalyst
Metallocene catalysts are the combination of a transition metal and cyclopentadienyl. It is a molecular structure with a well-defined single catalytic site, consisting of an organometallic coordination compound in which one or two cyclopentadienyl rings (with or without substituents) are bonded to a central transition-metal atom; used to produce uniform polyolefins with unique structures and physical properties. Metallocene catalysis is a rich and fertile technology with major implications for the polyolefins industry.
