ansa ‐Tetramethyldisiloxane‐bridged indenyl, tetrahydroindenyl and cyclopentadienyl zirconium complexes 1 – 4 were prepared. The pure rac ‐ 1 – 3 and meso ‐ 1 – 2 complexes were separated by fractional crystallization. Indenyl complexes, both rac ‐ 1 and meso ‐ 1 , in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO), have very high activities for ethylene polymerization. The molecular weight of polyethylene produced with rac ‐ 1 is extremely high and significantly dependent on polymerization temperature. The tert ‐butyl‐substituted cyclopentadienyl complex exhibits low activity and produces polyethylene of low molecular weight.
