 Metallocene Summary
Metallocenes are a type of organometallic complex, i.e., a chemical compound in which a metal atom is bonded to an organic structure.
Metallocenes of all 3d-row elements are known, but with the exception of ferrocene all of these are sensitive to air, paramagnetic and do not possess a closed-shell electron structure (see 18-Electron rule).
Derivatives of metallocenes include structures with an intramolecular bridge between the two cyclopentadienyl rings (ansa-metallocenes), compounds with just one facially-bound planar organic ligand (half-sandwich compounds), compounds with three Cp anions and two metal cations in alternating order (tripledecker configuration) and compounds where one cyclopentadienyl ligand is replaced by three other ligands (piano stool configuration).

Because metallocene catalysts often can be substituted in existing processes, the most significant cost factor, say polymer and catalyst producers, has been the catalyst and, even more specifically, the cocatalyst used.
Metallocene catalysts cost from a few thousand to several thousand dollars per pound, many times the cost of traditional Ziegler-Natta catalysts.
Hoechst, a major developer of polypropylene metallocene technology, says the catalysts are "already in a cost-performance domain where the economic scale-up of [their synthesis] becomes an important factor" for long-term competition.

Metallocene catalysts are homogeneous single-site systems, implying that there is a single, uniform type of catalyst present in the system.
The catalysts are able to homopolymerize ethylene to a variety of structures that range from high density polyethylene through hydrocarbon plastomers and elastomers to hyperbranched hydrocarbon oils by a mechanism referred to as 'chain-walking.'.
As opposed to metallocenes, they can also randomly copolymerize ethylene with polar comonomers such as methyl acrylate.

 Polyolefin Elastomers - Chemistry and Processing of Polyolefin Elastomers ( POE )
The metallocene catalyst selectively polymerises the ethylene and comonomer sequences and increasing the comonomer content will produce polymers with higher elasticity as the comonomer incorporation disrupts the polyethylene crystallinity.
Polyolefin elastomers are produced using refined metallocene catalyst often referred to as single-site or constrained geometry catalysts.
The metallocene catalyst can be used in a number of polymerisation processes including slurry, solution, and gas phase operations.

The industrial importance of metallocene based olefin polymerization has increased significantly in recent years.
The interaction between cationic metallocene complexes and ethylene in gas phase was studied in a triple stage mass spectrometer.
