Metallocene based catalysts are excellent tools in the production of poly‐α‐olefins. The product properties of these catalysts can be tailor‐made by controlling the microstructure as well as the molar mass and the thermal properties. Rac‐[Me 2 Si(2‐Me‐4‐(1‐Naphtyl)Ind 2 ]ZrCl 2 /MAO is a system that exhibits exceptional capabilities in respect to activity and isospecificity while producing polypropenes with high molar masses in the solution process.
