The use of two kinds of tantalum(V) aminopyridinato complexes, bis(2‐benzylaminopyridinato)trichlorotantalum(V) and trichlorobis[2,6‐di(phenylamino)pyridinato‐ N , N ′]‐tantalum(V), activated by methylaluminoxane was studied in polymerization of ethylene. The activities of these homogeneous catalyst systems are comparable to those of metallocenes. The weight‐average molecular weights ( M̄ w ) of the produced polyethylenes are between 60 000 and 200 000 and M̄ w / M̄ n ≈ 2.
