Abstract
Three kinds of zirconocene catalysts, supported on polysiloxanes substituted with methylindenyl, methylβfluorenyl and two indenyl groups, respectively, were prepared and applied to propene and ethylene polymerizations using methylaluminoxane as cocatalyst. Both the activity and stereospecificity of these catalysts were found to lie between those of corresponding homogeneous and SiO~2~βsupported catalysts. Surprisingly, all the catalysts gave a mixture of atactic and isotactic poly(propylene), plausible reasons for which are briefly discussed.

## Abstract Four supported metallocene catalysts were synthesized directly on silica [Si(CpZrCp), Si(CpZrInd), Si(IndZrCp), and Si(IndZrInd)]. The first ligand was chemically tethered to silica (internal ligand) while the second was free from silica (external ligand). The polymerization of ethylene
## Abstract **Summary:** Solution and gas phase processes of the polymerization of ethene are compared using new types of pentalenyl bridged __ansa__βmetallocenes such as [Me~3~Pen(Flu)]ZrCl~2~. As of the bridge, the catalyst system is remarkable thermostable up to 105βΒ°C and a deactivation of the
With the development of methods to support metallocenes and methylaluminoxane cocatalysts on suitable carriers, it became possible to combine the specific advantages of homogeneous metallocene catalysis with those of heterogeneous Ziegler catalysts in olefin polymerization. By means of ethylene poly
