Abstract
Ever since their discovery by Sinn and Kaminsky in 1979, the family of high activity homogeneous olefin polymerization catalysts known as metallocenes has been the subject of intense research and commercial development. While a structurally diverse group, metallocene catalysts are generally considered to have a few common features: a highly electrophilic, early transition metal or rare-earth atom as the point of polymer chain attachment; a π-bound cyclopentadienyl ring or isoelectronic analogue attached to this atom; and characteristically narrow distributions of polymer molecular weight and short-chain branching. While polymerization of ethylene and propylene is reviewed in some detail, the nonpolymerization catalysis and (co)polymerization of functional monomers is also surveyed. The current commercial status of metallocene technology is also briefly discussed.

Because of its popularity among both industrial and academic chemists, metallocene technology has been the subject of numerous reviews, some of which have been cited in earlier sections. An excellent listing of metallocene catalyst activities sorted by monomer system and catalyst structure has been collected by Gupta and co-workers (256); the review of Möhring and Coville (257) also stands out for its comparison of metallocene activities, and also thoroughly covers non-ethylene polymerizations. Reddy and Sivaram have produced an overview (258) which is especially strong in the area of aluminoxane structure and function. The constrained-geometry catalyst family has been reviewed by McKnight and Waymouth (259). A fine overview of the state of metallocenes in industry has been put together by Maier (260). A very good general reference for metallocene chemistry including stoichiometric reactions and Cp-equivalents has recently been issued (261). Useful collections of articles on the subject of metallocene polymerization occasionally appear in review journals: a good example is Reference (262).
