| abstract |
The present invention provides activator precursor compositions and activator compositions. The activator precursor composition is formed from a multifunctional compound having a carrier material, an organoaluminum compound, and at least two aromatic groups, wherein at least two of the aromatic groups each have at least one polar moiety thereon. The activator composition is formed from a multi-functional compound having a carrier material, an organoaluminum compound, an aluminoxane, and at least two aromatic groups, wherein at least two of the aromatic groups each have at least one polarity moiety thereon. Also provided are a catalyst composition, a method of forming the catalyst composition, and a polymerization method using the catalyst composition of the present invention. |
