Metallocene complexes represented by the structure below are useful for alpha olefin oligomerization in the presence of an activator to generate polyalphaolefins having a high percentage of vinylidene termination and relatively low Mn values. ##STR00001##
M is a group 4 transition metal. A is a bridging group having one bridging atom extending between a first indenyl ring and a second indenyl ring. Each X is independently an anionic ligand, or two Xs are joined and bound to M to form a metallocycle ring, or two Xs are joined to form a chelating ligand, a diene ligand, or an alkylidene ligand. R.sup.1, R.sup.1′, R.sup.3, R.sup.3′, R.sup.4, R.sup.4′, R.sup.7 and R.sup.7′ are hydrogen. R.sup.5, R.sup.5′, R.sup.6, and R.sup.6′ are independently a C.sub.1-C.sub.10, optionally substituted, hydrocarbyl group, or R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 and/or R.sup.5′ and R.sup.6′ are bonded together to form an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl ring structure.
