Description 2-Substituted bisindenylmetallocenes, process for their preparation, and their use as catalysts in the poly merization of olefins The present invention relates to novel 2-substituted bisindenylmetallocenes which can very advantageously be used as catalysts in the preparation of polyolefins of high molecular weight.
Polyolefins of high molecular weight are particularly important for the production of films, sheets or large hollow elements, such as, for example, tubes or moldings.
Chiral metallocenes are, in combination with alumin-oxanes, active, stereospecific catalysts for 'the prepara-tion of polyolefins (US 4,769,510). These metallocenes also include substituted indene compounds. Thus, for example, the use of the ethylenebis(4,5,6,7-t~atrahydro-1-indenyl)zirconium dichloride/aluminoxane catalyst system is known for the preparation of isotactic poly-propylene (cf. EP-A 185 918). Both this and numerous other polymeri2:ation processes coming under the prior art have, in part3.cular, the disadvantage that, at indus trially interesting polymerization temperatures, only polymers having an unacceptably low molecular weight are obtained.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that novel 2-substi tuted bisindenylmetallocenes are suitable catalysts far the preparation of olefin polymers of high isotacticity, narrow molecular weight distribution and high molecular weight.

m and n are identical or different and are zero, 1 or 2, preferably zero or 1, where m plus n is zero, 1 or 2, preferab7.y zero or 1.
The particularly preferred metallocenes are thus those in which, in the formula I, Ml is Zr or Hf, Rl and RZ are identical or different and are methyl or chlorine, R3 and R4 are hydrogen, R5 and R6 are identical or different and are methyl, ethyl or trifluoromethyl, R' is a _ ~ _ or ~12 _ gi _ radical, and n plus m ie zero or 1; in particu-lar the compounds I listed in tha working examples.
Of the compounds I mentioned in the working examples, rac-dimethylsilyl(2-methyl-1-indenyl)zzirconium dichloride, rac-ethylene(2-methyl-1-indenyl)zzirconium dichloride, rac-dimethylsilyl(2-methyl-1-indenyl)Zdi methylzirconium and rac-ethylene(2-methyl-1-indenyl)Zdi methylzirconium are particularly important.
The chiral metallocenes are employed as racemates for the preparation of highly isotacti.c poly-1-olefins. However, it is also possible to use the pure R- or S-form. These - ~~t.~~~
pure stereoisomeric forms allow the preparation of an optically active polymer. However, the meso form of the metallocenes should be separated off since the polymerization-active center (the metal atom) in these compounds is no longer chiral due to mirror symmetry at the central metal, and it is therefore not possible to produce a highly isotactic polymer. If the meso form is not separated off, atactic polymer is formed alongside isotactic polymers. For certain applications - soft moldings for example - this may be entirely desirable.
The principle of resolution of the stereoisomers is known.
The present invention furthermore provides a process for the preparation of the metallocenes I, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula II

where R3-Re, m and n are as described i.n the formula I, and M3 is an alkali metal, pref~rably lithium, a) with a compound of the formula III
2 0 M1X,, ( I I I ) in which Ml is as defined in the formula I, and X is a halogen atom, preferably chlorine, or b) with a compound of the formula IIIa MlX4Lz ( IIIa ) in which M1 and X are as defined above, and L is a donor ~~;3~):~~W.a3 7 _ ligand, and, if desired, derivatizing the resultant reaction product.
Examples of suitable donor ligands are tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ethex, dimethyl ether and the like, preferably tetrahydrofuran (THF).
The synthesis is carried out under a protective gas and in anhydrous solvents. In case a), the dried salt of the formula TI is added to a suspension of the compound of the formula III in a solvent such as toluene, n-hexane, dichloromethane, ether, THF, n-pentane or benzene, preferably in dichloromethane or toluene. The reaction temperature is from -78°C to 30°C, preferably from -40°C
to 1.0°C. The reaction duration is from 0.25 to 24 hours, preferably from 1 to 4 hours.
In case b), a solution of the salt of the formula II in one of the abovementioned solvents is added to a solution or suspension of a compound of the formula IIIa in a solvent such as toluene, xylene, ether or THF, preferably TGIF. However, an alternative procedure is to simul-taneously add both components dropwise to a solvent. This is the preferred procedure. The reaction temperature is from -40°C to 100°C, preferably from 0"C to 50°C, in particular from 10°C to 35°C. '.I'ha reaction duration is from 0.25 houtr to 48 hours, preferably :from 1 hour to 24 hours, in particular from 2 hours to 9 hours.
The halogen derivatives obtained in this way can be converted into the alkyl, aryl or alkenyl complexes by known standard methods, '.Phe compounds of the formula II are synthesized by deprotonation. This reaction is known; cf. J. Am. Chem.
Soc., 112 (1990) 2030-2031, ibid. 110 (1988) 6255-6256, ibid. 109 (1987), 6544-6545, J. Organomet. Chem., 322 (1987) 65-7U, New. J. Chem. 14 (1990) 499-503 and the tv j~ (" t" M~ .a r working examples.
The synthesis of the protonated forms of the compounds of these formulae has also been described, with the dif-ference that they are not correspondingly substituted in the a- and ~9-positions (Bull. Soc. Chim., 1967, 2954).
The bridging units required for their synthesis are generally commercially available, but the indenyl com-pounds required, by contrast, are not. Some literature references containing synthesis procedures are indicated;
the procedure for indene derivatives which are not mentioned is analogous: J. Org. Chem., 49 (1984) 4226-4237, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin II, 1981, 403-408, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 7.06 (1984) 6702, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 65 (1943) 567, J. Med. Chem., 30 (1987) 1303-1308, Chem.
Ber. 85 (1952) 78-85 and the working examples.
The metallocenes T can thus in principle be prepared in accordance with the reaction scheme below:

The radicals R are preferably identical and axe methyl, isobutyl, phenyl or benzyl, particularly preferably methyl.
If the radicals R are different, they are preferably methyl and hydrogen or alternatively methyl and isobutyl, from 0.01 to 40~ (of the number of radicals R) being hydrogen or isobutyl.
The aluminoxane can be prepared in different ways by known processes. One of the methods is, for example, the reaction of an aluminum-.hydrocarbon compound and/or a hydridoaluminiun-hydrocarbon compound with water (gaseous, solid, liquid or bound - for example as water of crystal-lization) in an inert solvent (such as, for example, toluene). In order to prepare an aluminoxane containing different alkyl groups R, two different trialkylaluminum compounds (Al R' -~ A1R~;,) in accordance with the desired composition a:re reacted with water (cf. ~. Paeynkic~wicz, Polyhedron 9 (1990) 429 and EP-A 302 424).
The precise structure of the aluminoxanes IV and V Ls not known.
Irrespective of the preparation method, a varying content of unreacted aluminum starting compound, in free form or as an adduct, is common to all the aluminoxane solutions.

aluminoxane of the formula (IV) and/or (V) before use in the polymerization reaction. This considerably increases the polymerization activity and improves the particle morphology.
The preactivation of the transition-metal compound is carried out in solution. The metallocene is preferably dissolved in a solution of the aluminoxane in an inert hydrocarbon. Suitable inert hydrocarbons are aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons. Toluene is preferred.
The concentration of the aluminoxane in the solution is in the range from about 1~ by weight up to the saturation limit, preferably from 5 to 30~ by weight, in each case based on the entire solution. The metallocene can be employed in the same concentration, but is preferably employed in an amount of from 104 - 1 mol per mole of aluminoxane. The preactivation time is from 5 minutes to 60 hours, preferably from 5 to 60 minutes . The preactiva-tion temperature is from -78°C to 100°C, preferably from 0 to 70°C.
The metallocene can also be prepolymerized or applied to a support. The prepolymerization is preferably carried out using the olefin or one of the olefins employed in the polymerization.
Examplos of suitable supports are silica gels, aluminum oxidas, solid aluminoxane or other inorganic support materials. Another suitable support material is a poly-olefin powder in finely divided form.
A further possible variation of the process comprises using a salt-like compound of the formula RxNH4_xBR'4 or of the formula R3PHBR'4 as cocatalyst instead of or in addition to an aluminoxane. x here is 1, 2 or 3, the R
radicals are identical or different and are alkyl or aryl, and R' is aryl, which may also be fluorinated or partially fluorinated. In this case, the catalyst hi ~.' C9 ~~ ~,r _~ r_r comprises the product of the reaction of a metallocene with one of said compounds (cf. EP-A 277 004).
The polymerization or copolymerization is carried out in a known manner in solution, in suspension or in the gas phase, continuously or batchwise, in one or more steps, at a temperature of from 0 to 150°C, preferably from 30 to 80°C. Olefins of the formula R°-CH=CH-Rb are poly-merized or copolymerized. In this formula, Ra and Rb are identical or different and are a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms. However, R° and Rb, together with the carbon atoms connecting them, may also form a ring. Examples of such olefins are ethylene, propylene, 1-butane, 1-hexane, 4-methyl-I-pentane, 1-octane, norbornene or norbornadiene. In particular, propylene and ethylene are polymerized.
The molecular weight regulator added, if necessary, is hydrogen. The overall pressure in the polymerization system is from 0.5 to 100 bar. The polymerization is preferably carried out i.n the industrially particularly interesting pressure range of from 5 to 64 bar.
The metallocene is used in a concentration, based on the transition mei~al, of from 10-3 to 10-e, preferably from 10-4 to 10-' mol of transition metal par dm'' of solvent or per dm~ of reactor volume . ~'ho a:1 uminoxrxne is used i.n a concentration of from 10-j to 10-1 mol, preferably from 104 to 10'z mol, per dm' of solvent or per dm~ of reactor volume. In principle, however, higher concentrations are also possible.
If the polymerization is carried out as a suspension or solution polymerization, an inert solvent which is customary for the Ziegler low-pressure process is used.
For example, the polymerization is carried out in an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon; examples of these which may be mentioned are butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, isooctane, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane.
G a ~%..i a.? t.i ;'N, ~.
It is also possible to use a petroleum ether or hydro-genated diesel oil fraction. Toluene can also be used.
The polymerization is preferably carried out in the liquid monomer.
If inert solvents are used, the monomers are metered in in gaseous or liquid form.
The polymerization can have any desired duration since the catalyst system to be used according to the invention exhibits only a low time-dependent drop in polymerization activity.
The process is distinguished by the fact that the metallocenes according to the invention give, in the industrially interesting temperature range of between 30 and 80°C, polymers of high molecular weight, high stereo specificity and good particle morphology.
The zirconocenes according to the invention, in parti-cular, are in a molecular weight range which was the province of the hafnocenes in the previous prior art.
However, the latter had the disadvantage of only low polymerization activity and very high catalyst costs, and the polymers prepared using them had poor powder morphology.

R' is preferably =CRx1R12, =S1R11Rt2, =GeR11R12, -0-, -S-, =S0, =PRl' or =P ( 0 ) Rll .
R8 and R9 are identical or different and are as defined as for RI1.
m and n are identical or different and are zero, 1 or 2, preferably zero or 1, where m plus n is zero, 1 or 2, preferab7.y zero or 1.
The particularly preferred metallocenes are thus those in which, in the formula I, Ml is Zr or Hf, Rl and RZ are identical or different and are methyl or chlorine, R3 and R4 are hydrogen, R5 and R6 are identical or different and are methyl, ethyl or trifluoromethyl, R' is a _ ~ _ or ~12 _ gi _ radical, and n plus m ie zero or 1; in particu-lar the compounds I listed in tha working examples.
Of the compounds I mentioned in the working examples, rac-dimethylsilyl(2-methyl-1-indenyl)zzirconium dichloride, rac-ethylene(2-methyl-1-indenyl)zzirconium dichloride, rac-dimethylsilyl(2-methyl-1-indenyl)Zdi methylzirconium and rac-ethylene(2-methyl-1-indenyl)Zdi methylzirconium are particularly important.
The chiral metallocenes are employed as racemates for the preparation of highly isotacti.c poly-1-olefins. However, it is also possible to use the pure R- or S-form. These - ~~t.~~~
pure stereoisomeric forms allow the preparation of an optically active polymer. However, the meso form of the metallocenes should be separated off since the polymerization-active center (the metal atom) in these compounds is no longer chiral due to mirror symmetry at the central metal, and it is therefore not possible to produce a highly isotactic polymer. If the meso form is not separated off, atactic polymer is formed alongside isotactic polymers. For certain applications - soft moldings for example - this may be entirely desirable.
The principle of resolution of the stereoisomers is known.
The present invention furthermore provides a process for the preparation of the metallocenes I, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula II

Examples of suitable donor ligands are tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ethex, dimethyl ether and the like, preferably tetrahydrofuran (THF).
The synthesis is carried out under a protective gas and in anhydrous solvents. In case a), the dried salt of the formula TI is added to a suspension of the compound of the formula III in a solvent such as toluene, n-hexane, dichloromethane, ether, THF, n-pentane or benzene, preferably in dichloromethane or toluene. The reaction temperature is from -78°C to 30°C, preferably from -40°C
to 1.0°C. The reaction duration is from 0.25 to 24 hours, preferably from 1 to 4 hours.
In case b), a solution of the salt of the formula II in one of the abovementioned solvents is added to a solution or suspension of a compound of the formula IIIa in a solvent such as toluene, xylene, ether or THF, preferably TGIF. However, an alternative procedure is to simul-taneously add both components dropwise to a solvent. This is the preferred procedure. The reaction temperature is from -40°C to 100°C, preferably from 0"C to 50°C, in particular from 10°C to 35°C. '.I'ha reaction duration is from 0.25 houtr to 48 hours, preferably :from 1 hour to 24 hours, in particular from 2 hours to 9 hours.
The halogen derivatives obtained in this way can be converted into the alkyl, aryl or alkenyl complexes by known standard methods, '.Phe compounds of the formula II are synthesized by deprotonation. This reaction is known; cf. J. Am. Chem.
Soc., 112 (1990) 2030-2031, ibid. 110 (1988) 6255-6256, ibid. 109 (1987), 6544-6545, J. Organomet. Chem., 322 (1987) 65-7U, New. J. Chem. 14 (1990) 499-503 and the tv j~ (" t" M~ .a r working examples.
The synthesis of the protonated forms of the compounds of these formulae has also been described, with the dif-ference that they are not correspondingly substituted in the a- and ~9-positions (Bull. Soc. Chim., 1967, 2954).
The bridging units required for their synthesis are generally commercially available, but the indenyl com-pounds required, by contrast, are not. Some literature references containing synthesis procedures are indicated;
the procedure for indene derivatives which are not mentioned is analogous: J. Org. Chem., 49 (1984) 4226-4237, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin II, 1981, 403-408, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 7.06 (1984) 6702, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 65 (1943) 567, J. Med. Chem., 30 (1987) 1303-1308, Chem.

The radicals R are preferably identical and axe methyl, isobutyl, phenyl or benzyl, particularly preferably methyl.
If the radicals R are different, they are preferably methyl and hydrogen or alternatively methyl and isobutyl, from 0.01 to 40~ (of the number of radicals R) being hydrogen or isobutyl.
The aluminoxane can be prepared in different ways by known processes. One of the methods is, for example, the reaction of an aluminum-.hydrocarbon compound and/or a hydridoaluminiun-hydrocarbon compound with water (gaseous, solid, liquid or bound - for example as water of crystal-lization) in an inert solvent (such as, for example, toluene). In order to prepare an aluminoxane containing different alkyl groups R, two different trialkylaluminum compounds (Al R' -~ A1R~;,) in accordance with the desired composition a:re reacted with water (cf. ~. Paeynkic~wicz, Polyhedron 9 (1990) 429 and EP-A 302 424).
The precise structure of the aluminoxanes IV and V Ls not known.
Irrespective of the preparation method, a varying content of unreacted aluminum starting compound, in free form or as an adduct, is common to all the aluminoxane solutions.
It is possible to preact:ivate the metallocene I using an ;, ,.. f ,~ ~.
~, 'a ~
i-a F.> i~~ 2J i-J tJ
aluminoxane of the formula (IV) and/or (V) before use in the polymerization reaction. This considerably increases the polymerization activity and improves the particle morphology.
The preactivation of the transition-metal compound is carried out in solution. The metallocene is preferably dissolved in a solution of the aluminoxane in an inert hydrocarbon. Suitable inert hydrocarbons are aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons. Toluene is preferred.
The concentration of the aluminoxane in the solution is in the range from about 1~ by weight up to the saturation limit, preferably from 5 to 30~ by weight, in each case based on the entire solution. The metallocene can be employed in the same concentration, but is preferably employed in an amount of from 104 - 1 mol per mole of aluminoxane. The preactivation time is from 5 minutes to 60 hours, preferably from 5 to 60 minutes . The preactiva-tion temperature is from -78°C to 100°C, preferably from 0 to 70°C.
The metallocene can also be prepolymerized or applied to a support. The prepolymerization is preferably carried out using the olefin or one of the olefins employed in the polymerization.
Examplos of suitable supports are silica gels, aluminum oxidas, solid aluminoxane or other inorganic support materials. Another suitable support material is a poly-olefin powder in finely divided form.
A further possible variation of the process comprises using a salt-like compound of the formula RxNH4_xBR'4 or of the formula R3PHBR'4 as cocatalyst instead of or in addition to an aluminoxane. x here is 1, 2 or 3, the R
radicals are identical or different and are alkyl or aryl, and R' is aryl, which may also be fluorinated or partially fluorinated. In this case, the catalyst hi ~.' C9 ~~ ~,r _~ r_r comprises the product of the reaction of a metallocene with one of said compounds (cf. EP-A 277 004).
The polymerization or copolymerization is carried out in a known manner in solution, in suspension or in the gas phase, continuously or batchwise, in one or more steps, at a temperature of from 0 to 150°C, preferably from 30 to 80°C. Olefins of the formula R°-CH=CH-Rb are poly-merized or copolymerized. In this formula, Ra and Rb are identical or different and are a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having 1 to 14 carbon atoms. However, R° and Rb, together with the carbon atoms connecting them, may also form a ring. Examples of such olefins are ethylene, propylene, 1-butane, 1-hexane, 4-methyl-I-pentane, 1-octane, norbornene or norbornadiene. In particular, propylene and ethylene are polymerized.
The molecular weight regulator added, if necessary, is hydrogen. The overall pressure in the polymerization system is from 0.5 to 100 bar. The polymerization is preferably carried out i.n the industrially particularly interesting pressure range of from 5 to 64 bar.
The metallocene is used in a concentration, based on the transition mei~al, of from 10-3 to 10-e, preferably from 10-4 to 10-' mol of transition metal par dm'' of solvent or per dm~ of reactor volume . ~'ho a:1 uminoxrxne is used i.n a concentration of from 10-j to 10-1 mol, preferably from 104 to 10'z mol, per dm' of solvent or per dm~ of reactor volume. In principle, however, higher concentrations are also possible.
If the polymerization is carried out as a suspension or solution polymerization, an inert solvent which is customary for the Ziegler low-pressure process is used.
For example, the polymerization is carried out in an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon; examples of these which may be mentioned are butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, isooctane, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane.
G a ~%..i a.? t.i ;'N, ~.
It is also possible to use a petroleum ether or hydro-genated diesel oil fraction. Toluene can also be used.
The polymerization is preferably carried out in the liquid monomer.
If inert solvents are used, the monomers are metered in in gaseous or liquid form.
The polymerization can have any desired duration since the catalyst system to be used according to the invention exhibits only a low time-dependent drop in polymerization activity.
The process is distinguished by the fact that the metallocenes according to the invention give, in the industrially interesting temperature range of between 30 and 80°C, polymers of high molecular weight, high stereo specificity and good particle morphology.
The zirconocenes according to the invention, in parti-cular, are in a molecular weight range which was the province of the hafnocenes in the previous prior art.
However, the latter had the disadvantage of only low polymerization activity and very high catalyst costs, and the polymers prepared using them had poor powder morphology.
