A sterically hindered bis-η-alkylcyclopentadienylzirconium compound as catalyst for the polymerization of ethene and propene

The compound bis[η-(1,3,3,5,5-pentamethylcyclohexyl)-cyclopentadienyl] zirconium dichloride has been prepared and the crystal structure determined. The compound together with the cocatalyst methylaluminoxane will catalyse the polymerisation of the ethene and propene.
