Abstract Novel homo-dinuclear silicon bridged cyanoethyl cyclopentadienyl complexes of titanium and zirconium (CH3)2Si((η5−C5H3CH2CH2CN)(C5H5)MCl2)2 (M=Ti(1), Zr(2)) were synthesized and developed for the polymerization of ethylene. Compared with their corresponding mononuclear complexes (η5−C5H4CH2CH2CN)(C5H5)MCl2 (M=Ti(3), Zr(4)), the dinuclear complexes had higher catalytic activity. And the polyethylene produced had a higher molecular weight than that obtained K7with mononuclear catalysts. Effects of conditions on the ethylene polymerization catalyzed by (2)/MAO (methylaluminoxane) were studied in detail. The catalyst showed a very high activity (>106 g PE/mol Zr·h) under low catalyst concentration and high molar ratio of Al/Zr.
