Phosphoramidate catalysts for ethylene-based interpolymers
Catalyst systems contain metal-ligand complexes according to formula (I): In formula (I), M is Ti, Zr, of Hf; n is 0, 1, 2, or 3; m is 1 or 2; each R.sup.1 and each R.sup.2 is independently chosen from (C.sub.1-C.sub.40)hydrocarbyl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.40)heterohydrocarbyl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.40)aryl, (C.sub.1-C.sub.40)heteroaryl, halogen, and —H; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are optionally covalently linked to each other; and each R.sup.3 is a hydrocarbon or heterohydrocarbon radical having an identity depending on the value of subscript m. The metal-ligand complexes may be incorporated as procatalysts in catalyst systems for polyolefin polymerization. ##STR00001##
