process comprising:
1) introducing into a reaction vessel an activator and a
catalyst of formula I:
where
M is a metal selected from Groups 3 to 10 of the
Periodic Table;
R1 and R2 are the same or different and are
independently selected from hydrogen, C1-10alkyl,
C6-10aryl, or C7-15aralkyl, each of these optionally
substituted with halogen, cyano, C1-4alkoxy, C1-4alkyl,
and with the proviso that not more than 1 of R1 or R2
is a hydrocarbon which is branched at the imino-bonded
carbon atom;
R3, R4, R5, and R6 are independently hydrogen,
C1-10alkyl, C6-10aryl, C7-15aralkyl, C1-10alkoxy, or
C1-10dialkylamino, each of these optionally substituted
with halogen, cyano, C1-4alkoxy, or C1-4alkyl, or
wherein any two adjacent R3 through R6 form a cyclic
structure or are part of a larger ring structure, said
cyclic structure and said larger ring structure
optionally containing one or more heteroatoms,
preferably B, N, O, S, or P;
