Monocyclopentadienyl-amidotitanium

These monocyclopentadienyl amidotitanium complexes, which are classified as constrained-geometry catalysts, are capable of producing low-density polyethylene (ethylene copolymers with C4, C(, or Cg 1-alkenes) that also contain long-chain branches, in contrast to strictly linear low-density polyethylene (ethylene copolymers with C4, C(, or Cg 1-alkenes) produced by bent metallocene-based catalysts [30,105,148,149].
