Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to ansa-metallocene catalyst compounds that include (1) a first indenyl ligand substituted at the 3-position with a substituted or unsubstituted C4-C40 hydrocarbyl group, wherein the hydrocarbyl group is branched at the β-position, and (2) a second indenyl ligand substituted at its 3-position with a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a β-branched alkyl group. Catalyst systems prepared with the catalyst compounds, polymerization methods using such catalyst systems, and polyolefins made using the polymerization methods are also described.
