Long chain running : The polymerization performance of guanidinato titanium(IV) olefin catalysts is tuned by monodentate ancillary ligands. Polymerization activities of up to 8800 kg PE mol cat. −1 h −1 bar −1 together with molecular weights of 2500 kg mol −1 were observed (see figure; d‐MAO=dry methylalumoxane). Ligand transfer of the additional donor ligands has to be avoided.
