Sironi; M. Moret Organometallics, 1990, 9, 3098-3105 discloses non-bridged bis-indenyl metallocenes with oxygen in the 4 and 7 positions of the indenyl group. It has been thought that heteroatom-substitution, as opposed to carbon or H-substitution, on any position of the indenyl system of a metallocene complex, when used in an olefin polymerization catalyst, renders the catalyst less active, that is, there is lower catalyst productivity for polymerizations with a-olefins, and the polymer produced has lower molecular weight with lower tacticity. It has been suggested that the diminished activity of this broad class of catalysts is due to interaction of the heteroatom lone pair electrons with the Lewis acid cocatalyst polymerization activator, resulting in a more electronically deactivated Cp ring which is also more sterically hindered. SEE P. Foster; M. D. Rausch; J. C. W. Chien, 7. Organometallic Chem. 1996,579,269-272. Disclosure of random heteroatom substitution in mono-Cp metallocenes is found in EP-A-416,815, WO 95/07942, WO 96/13529, U.S. Patent No.'s 5,096,867 and 5,621,126 and related cases. Up to now it has been thought that heteroatom substitution in metallocene complexes for use as olefin polymerization catalysts would have disadvantages due to unwanted interactions of the lone pair electrons of the heteroatom either with the transition metal atom of the same or a different metallocene molecule, or with other components of the catalyst system. Numerous improvements in various metallocene complexes used as olefin polymerization catalysts have been made. However, problems still remain with catalyst efficiency and deactivation of the catalyst under high temperature polymerization conditions. It would be advantageous to be able to produce polyolefins with higher molecular weights. It would also be advantageous to be able to improve other physical characteristics of the polymers produced by altering the substitution around the cyclopentadienyl group of the metallocene complexes used in olefin polymerization catalyst systems. Summary of the Invention According to the present invention there are provided metal complexes corresponding to the formula: where M is a metal from one of Groups 3 to 13 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, the lanthanides or actinides, which is in the +2, +3 or +4 formal oxidation state and which is rc-bonded to one cyclopentadienyl group (Cp) which is a cyclic, delocalized, 7C-bound ligand group having 5 substituents: R^; (RB)J-T where j is zero, 1 or 2; Rc' RD and Z; where RA, RB, Rc and RD are R groups; and where T is a heteroatom which is covalently bonded to the Cp ring, and to RB when j is 1 or 2, and when j is 0, T is F, CI, Br, or I; when j is 1, T is O or S, or N or P and RB has a double bond to T; when j is 2, T is N or P; and where RB independently each occurrence is hydrogen, or, is a group having from 1 to 80 nonhydrogen atoms which is hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylsilyl, halo-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylsilylhydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, hydrocarbyloxy, each RB optionally being substituted with one or more groups which independently each occurrence is hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbylsiloxy, hydrocarbylsilylamino, di(hydrocarbylsilyl)amino, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, di(hydrocarbyl)phosphino, hydrocarbylsulfido, hydrocarbyl, halo-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylsilyl or hydrocarbylsilylhydrocarbyl having from 1 to 20 nonhydrogen atoms, or a noninterfering group having from 1 to 20 nonhydrogen atoms; and each of RB\ RC ancj RD is hydrogen, or is a group having from 1 to 80 nonhydrogen atoms which is hydrocarbyl, halo-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylsilyl, hydrocarbylsilylhydrocarbyl, each RB, RB- or RB optionally being substituted with one or more groups which independently each occurrence is hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbylsiloxy, hydrocarbylsilylamino, di(hydrocarbylsilyl)amino, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, di(hydrocarbyl)phosphino, hydrocarbylsulfido, hydrocarbyl, halo-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylsilyl or hydrocarbylsilylhydrocarbyl having from 1 to 20 nonhydrogen atoms, or a noninterfering group having from 1 to 20 nonhydrogen atoms; or, optionally, two or more ofRA,RB,RcandRD are covalently linked with each other to form one or more fused rings or ring systems having from 1 to 80 nonhydrogen atoms for each R group, the one or more fused rings or ring systems being unsubstituted or substituted with one or more groups which independently each occurrence are hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbylsiloxy, hydrocarbylsilylamino, di(hydrocarbylsilyl)amino, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, di(hydrocarbyl)phosphino, hydrocarbylsulfido, hydrocarbyl, halo-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylamino-substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbylsilyl or hydrocarbylsilylhydrocarbyl having from 1 to 20 nonhydrogen atoms, or a noninterfering group having from 1 to 20 nonhydrogen atoms; Z is a divalent moiety bound to both Cp and M via a-bonds, where Z comprises boron, or a member of Group 14 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, and also comprises nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur or oxygen; X is an anionic or dianionic ligand group having up to 60 atoms exclusive of the class of ligands that are cyclic, delocalized, 7C-bound ligand groups; X' independently each occurrence is a neutral Lewis base ligating compound having up to 20 atoms; p is zero, 1 or 2, and is two less than the formal oxidation state of M, when X is an anionic ligand; when X is a dianionic ligand group, p is 1; and q is zero, 1 or 2. The above complexes may exist as isolated crystals optionally in pure form or as a mixture with other complexes, in the form of a soivated adduct, optionally in a solvent, especially an organic liquid, as well as in the form of a dimer or chelated derivative thereof, wherein the chelating agent is an organic material, preferably a neutral Lewis base, especially a trihydrocarbylamine, trihydrocarbylphosphine, or halogenated derivative thereof. Also, according to the present invention, there is provided a catalyst system for olefin polymerization prepared from catalyst system components comprising: (A) a catalyst component comprising a metal complex of one of the aforementioned complexes; and (B) a cocatalyst component comprising an activating cocatalyst wherein the molar ratio of (A) to (B) is from 1:10,000 to 100:1; or activation of (A) by use of an activating technique. Another embodiment of this invention is a catalyst system for olefin polymerization prepared from catalyst system components comprising: (A) a catalyst component comprising a metal complex of one of the aforementioned metal complexes; and (B) a cocatalyst component comprising an activating cocatalyst wherein the molar ratio of (A) to (B) is from 1:10,000 to 100:1 wherein the metal complex is in the form of a radical cation. Further according to the present invention there is provided a process for the polymerization of olefins comprising contacting one or more C2-20 oc-olefins under polymerization conditions with one of the aforementioned catalyst systems. A preferred process of this invention is a high temperature solution polymerization process for the polymerization of olefins comprising contacting one or more C2-20 ot-olefins under polymerization conditions with one of the aforementioned catalyst systems at a temperature from about 100°C to about 250°C. Within the scope of this invention are the polyolefin products produced by the aforementioned processes. Preferred products have long chain branching and reverse molecular architecture. This invention also provides a cyclopentadienyl-containing ligand of one of the aforementioned metal complexes where the ligand is in the form of: (A) a free base with 2 protons capable of being deprotonated; (B) a dilithium salt; (C) a magnesium salt: or (D) a mono or disilylated dianion. Within the scope of this aspect of the invention is the use of one of these ligands for synthesis to produce a metal complex of this invention, or for synthesis to produce a metal complex comprising a metal from one of Groups 3 to 13 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, the lanthanides or actinides, and from 1 to 4 of the ligands. The present catalysts and processes result in the highly efficient production of high molecular weight olefin polymers over a wide range of polymerization conditions, and especially at elevated temperatures. They are especially useful for the solution or bulk polymerization of ethylene/propylene (EP polymers), ethylene/octene (EO polymers), ethylene/styrene (ES polymers), propylene and ethylene/propylene/diene (EPDM polymers) wherein the diene is ethylidenenorbornene, 1,4-hexadiene or similar nonconjugated diene. The use of elevated temperatures dramatically increases the productivity of such processes due to the fact that increased polymer solubility at elevated temperatures allows the use of increased conversions (higher concentration of polymer product) without exceeding solution viscosity limitations of the polymerization equipment as well as reduced energy costs needed to devolatilize the reaction product. The catalysts of this invention may also be supported on a support material and used in olefin polymerization processes in a slurry or in the gas phase. The catalyst may be prepolymerized with one or more olefin monomers in situ in a polymerization reactor or in a separate process with intermediate recovery of the prepolymerized catalyst prior to the primary polymerization process. Up to now it has been thought that heteroatom substitution directly on a cyclopentadienyl (Cp) group which is a cyclic, delocalized, rc-bound ligand group of a metallocene complex would not have a beneficial effect upon the usefulness of the -7- complex in an olefin polymerization catalyst system. However, it has now been found that the preferred metallocene complexes of this invention with heteroatom substitution directly on a single 7C-bonded Cp group have extraordinary properties as olefin catalysts, allowing the production of high molecular weight polymers with desirable characteristics at high catalyst activities. Metallocene complexes with heteroatom substitution in the 3-position are highly preferred.

Such a process is disclosed in USSN 8/241,523, filed May 13, 1994, published as WO 95/00526, the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The reactions are conducted in a suitable noninterfering solvent at a temperature from -100 to 300°C, preferably from -78 to 100°C, most preferably from 0 to 50°C. By the term "reducing agent" herein is meant a metal or compound which, under reducing conditions causes the metal M, to be reduced from a higher to a lower oxidation state. Examples of suitable metal reducing agents are alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, aluminum and zinc, alloys of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals such as sodium/mercury amalgam and sodium/potassium alloy. Examples of suitable reducing agent compounds are sodium naphthalenide, potassium graphite, lithium alkyls, lithium or potassium alkadienyls; and Grignard reagents. Most preferred reducing agents are the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, especially lithium and magnesium metal. Suitable reaction media for the formation of the complexes include aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers, and cyclic ethers, particularly branched-chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, and mixtures thereof; cyclic and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, methylcycloheptane, and mixtures thereof; aromatic and hydrocarbyl-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, C1-4 dialkyl ethers, C1-4 dialkyl ether derivatives of (poly)alkylene glycols, and tetrahydrofuran. Mixtures of the foregoing are also suitable. One synthesis of heteroatom-substituted cyclopentadienyl systems, which are useful as precursors to constrained geometry catalyst systems (CGC), is depicted in Scheme 1, below, where: a.) excess amine, benzene, reflux 24 hr (-H2O); b.) excess amine (8 eq), TiCl4 (1 eq) in CH2CI2, 0 °C, then add ketone and warm to 25 °C; c.) 1.05 eq n-BuLi/ hexane at 25 °C; d.) 1.0-1.5 eq Cl-silane/THF at 25 °C; e.) 2.05 eq n-BuLi/hexane at 25 °C. R, R\ R", R"\ R"" independently selected in each case are H (except on the nitrogen bound directly to the cyclopentadienyl ring), alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, and are not limited only to these groups. The heteroatom-containing substituent has a nitrogen in the 3-position of the indenyl system. 1-Indanone is a convenient starting material for conversion to the corresponding enamine, although formation of the latter is not restricted to the use of this compound. Enamines of indanone are typically formed by methods known in the art, including condensation of secondary amines with the ketone (W. E. Noland, V. Kameswaran/. Org. Chem. 1981,46, 1940-1944). The corresponding water byproduct may be azeotropically removed using a benzene or toluene solvent under reflux conditions and optionally an acid catalyst such as p-toluene sulfonic acid (O. Cervinka in The Chemistry of Enamines Part 1, Ch. 9; Z. Rappoport, Ed.; Wiley Interscience, New York, 1994, 468-500). With more sterically-hindered ketones, such as 2-methyl-l-indanone, or more volatile amines, such as dimethyl amine, it may be preferable to employ stronger dehydrating reagents such as titanium chloroamides (generated in situ from titanium tetrachloride and the condensation amine) (R. Carlson, A. Nilsson Acta Chemica Scandinavica B 38, 1984,49-53). These two methods have been employed to produce enamines substituted in the 2- and 3-positions of the indene (the 1-position is typically bonded to a silicon or other linking moiety in subsequent compounds). Another method for the preparation of enamines involves electrophilic amination of carbanions such as lithium indenide (E. Erdik; M, Ay Chem. Rev., 1989, 89, 1947-1980). For subsequent formation of highly pure CGC-ligands, enamines prepared by these routes must be highly pure and free of ketone, Aldol by-products and higher weight reaction tars which typically accompany product formation. None of the aforementioned routes uniformly provides a product which can be used without some sort of further purification. We have found that chromatographic purification using flash-grade silica gel or alumina rapidly promotes hydrolysis of the enamine to free amine and ketone, an unfortunate consequence. Although these compounds are highly water and air sensitive, enamines of this nature may be purified by careful fractional distillation, or occasionally, recrystallization. In particular, rapid distillation of indanone enamines is required to prevent thermal polymerization in the still at elevated temperature. Expedient conversion of pure enamine to its corresponding anionic salt is required to obtain a highly pure CGC-ligand, since enamines may also be photochemically sensitive. 1-Indanone is also a preferred starting material for CGC-ligands substituted with oxygen in the 3-position. In particular, enol ethers in this position can be made by dehydration of the appropriate hemiketal which is formed in situ from indanone and alcohol in the presence of an acidic catalyst (L. A. Paquette; A. Varadarajan; E. Bey J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1984,106, 6702-6708). Enol ethers of indanones, like the enamine analogues, are also susceptible to hydrolysis and are very oxygen sensitive. Once purified, they are best expediently converted to their corresponding anionic salts, which is shown in Scheme 2, below, where: a.) alcohol, benzene, reflux 24 hr (-H2O); b.) 1.05 eq n-BuLi/hexane at 25 °C; c.) 1.0-1.5 eq Cl-silane/THF at 25 °C; d.) 2.05 eq n-BuLi/hexane at 25 °C; and R, R\ R\ R"\ R"" independently selected in each case are H (except on oxygen), alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, and are not limited only to these groups. Once highly purified, conversion of the enamine to its corresponding anionic salt may be accomplished by reaction with an appropriate base of suitable strength in an appropriate noninterfering solvent. Under appropriate, anaerobic, anhydrous conditions, the often solid anionic salt may be filtered, washed and dried in nearly quantitative yield. -Likewise, enol ethers of 1-indanone can be deprotonated to the corresponding anionic salt. The formation of constrained geometry ligands (CGC-ligand) based upon heteroatom-substituted indenes is based upon the anion alkylation method described by Nickias and coworkers (Nickias, Peter N.; Devore, David D.; Wilson, David R., PCT Int. Appl., WO 93/08199 Al 930429. CAN 119:160577; Carpenetti, Donald W.; Kloppenburg, Lioba; Kupec, Justin T.; Petersen, Jeffrey L. Organometallics 1996, 75(6), 1572-81) in which a cyclopentadienyl anion is reacted with electrophiles such as halogenated secondary alkylamines or halogenated secondary silylamines to give the corresponding cyclopentadienyl alkylamine or cyclopentadienyl silylamine. Under halogenated secondary alkylamines or halogenated secondary silylamines are included for example (t-butyl)(chlorodimethylsilyl)amine, (t-butyl)(chlorodimethylsilylmethyl)amine, (t-butyl)(bromomethyldimethylsilyl)amine, (t-butyl)(2-chloroethyl)amine, (chlorodimethylsilyl)(phenyl)amine, (adamantyl)(chlorodiphenylsilyl)amine, (chlorodimethylsilyl)(cyclohexyl)amine, (benzyl)(chlorodimethylsilyl)amine and (t-butyl)(chloromethylphenylsilyl)amine. For example, dropwise addition of the lithio derivative of the anionic salt in THF to a molar excess of (t-butyl)(chlorodimethylsilyl) amine in THF followed by standard removal of lithium chloride and excess electrophile often provides highly pure ligand which may be subsequently used without further purification. This so-called CGC-ligand may be converted to its insoluble dianionic salt by reaction of the free base with two equivalents of a base of suitable strength in an appropriate noninterfering solvent. By appropriate noninterfering solvent in the context of the present invention is meant a solvent that doesn't interfere with the formation of, or react deleteriously with, the desired product. Such solvents suitable for the preparation of the anionic salts and dianionic salts of the invention include, but are not limited to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly straight and branched chain hydrocarbons such as butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, decane, including their branched isomers and mixtures thereof; cyclic and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, methylcycloheptane and mixtures thereof; aromatic and hydrocarbyl-substkuted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, diethylbenzene and mixtures thereof; ethers and cyclic ethers, particularly Cj.g dialkyl ethers, such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether and methyl-t-butyl ether, Cj.g dialkyl ether derivatives of (poly)alkylene glycols, such as dimethoxyethane, and dioxane and THF and mixtures thereof. Mixtures of the foregoing are also suitable. Bases of suitable strength for the preparation of the dianionic salts of the invention include hydrocarbyl salts of Group 1 and Group 2 metals, especially alkyl or aryl salts of lithium or magnesium, such as methyllithium, ethyllithium, n-butyllithium, s-butyllithium, t-butyllithium, phenyllithium, methyl magnesium chloride, ethyl magnesium bromide, i-propyl magnesium chloride, dibutylmagnesium, (butyl)(ethyl)magnesium, dihexylmagnesium; Group 1 or Group 2 metals, such as lithium, sodium, potassium and magnesium; Group 1, Group 2 or Group 13 metal hydrides, such as lithium hydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride or lithium aluminum hydride; Group 1 or Group 2 metal amide complexes, such as lithium diisopropylamide, lithium dimethylamide, lithium hexamethyldisilazide, sodamide and magnesium diisopropylamide. Bases of suitable strength for the preparation of the anionic salts of the invention include the foregoing as well as Group 1 or Group 2 metal alkoxide complexes, such as sodium ethoxide, sodium t- butoxide, potassium butoxide and potassium amylate. Another potential synthetic approach to the formation of free base ligand involves reacting the indenyl anionic salt with an excess of bis-electrophile, for example, dichlorodimethylsilane in a polar, aprotic solvent such as THF. Unexpectedly, we have found that this approach is inferior to the aforementioned technique for many 3-heteroatom-substituted ligand systems in that a large portion of ansa-ligand (bis alkylation adduct) is often formed, despite the use of excess electrophile, as shown in Scheme 3, below. The synthetic feasibility of either approach is dependent upon steric and electronic consideration of the substituent groups (R groups) and requires experimental evaluation in each case. The metallation of the dianionic salt may be accomplished by methods cited in this art as well. Reaction of the dianionic salt in THF with TiCl3 (THF)3, followed by oxidation with methylene chloride or lead dichloride is a well established procedure (J. Okuda, S. Verch, T. P. Spaniol, R. Sturmer Chem. Ber.f 1996, 729, 1429-1431, D. D. Devore EP 514,828) which affords the titanium (IV) dichloride complex. The dichloride may be silylated or hydrocarbylated by ligand exchange with an appropriate silylating or hydrocarbylating agent, such as methyllithium, methyl magnesium chloride, benzyl potassium, allyl lithium, trimethylsilylmethyl lithium, neopentyl magnesium bromide and phenyllithium. A more complete list of appropriate silylating or hydrocarbylating agents is given below. A general method for producing the titanium(II) diene complex from the corresponding titanium(IV) dichloride has been described by Devore and coworkers (D. D. Devore, F. J. Timmers, D. L. Hasha, R. K. Rosen, T. J. Marks, P. A. Deck, C. L. Stern, Organometallics, 1995, 14, 3132-3134; D. D. Devore, F. J. Timmers, J. C. Stevens, R. D. Mussell, L. H. Crawford, D. R. Wilson, U.S. 5,556,928). Thus, treatment of the dichloride with n-butyl lithium in the presence of an appropriate diene produces the analogous titanium (II) diene complex for heteroatom-substituted systems. The formation of the CGC metal (III) complexes according to the invention can be accomplished by any of several synthesis methods, among which are the following: The reaction under anaerobic and anhydrous conditions of the dianionic salts with trivalent metal salts, such as Group 4 metal (III) halide or alkoxide complexes, can be carried out, optionally followed by silylation or hydrocarbylation with suitable silylating or hydrocarbylating agents, to form the corresponding CGC metal (III) halide, alkoxide, silyl or hydrocarbyl complexes of the invention. A further synthesis method involves reducing an appropriate CGC metal (IV) dihalide or dialkoxide complex, or, preceded by monosilylation or monohydrocarbylation, the corresponding CGC (IV) silyl or hydrocarbyl monohalide or monoalkoxide complex with a suitable reducing agent to the corresponding CGC metal (III) halide, alkoxide, silyl or hydrocarbyl complex. Found to be particularly suitable in the synthesis of the CGC metal (III) complexes according to the present invention are the methods described by Wilson (D. R. Wilson U.S. 5,504,224, 1996) which is incorporated herein by reference. For example, cyclopentadienyl ligands can be displaced by the dianionic salts and/or by the (stabilizing) hydrocarbylating agents from cyclopentadienyl-containing Group 4 metal complexes in the +3 oxidation state to give the CGC metal (III) complexes of the invention. Suitable reducing agents for reducing the oxidation state of the metals of the CGC metal (IV) complexes from +4 to +3 have been described above and especially include zinc, aluminum and magnesium. Suitable silylating and hydrocarbylating agents for the CGC metal (III) complexes and the CGC metal (IV) complexes of the invention include alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, neopentyl and hexyl; aryl, such as phenyl, naphthyl and biphenyl; aralkyl, such as benzyl, tolylmethyl, diphenylmethyl; alkaryl, such as tolyl and xylyl; allyl; silyl- or alkyl-substituted allyl, such as methylallyl, trimethylsilylallyl, dimethylallyl and trimethylallyl; trialkylsilyl, such as trimethylsilyl and triethylsilyl; trialkylsilylalkyl, such as trimethylsilylmethyl; pentadienyl; alkyl- or silyl-substituted pentadienyl, such as methylpentadienyl, dimethylpentadienyl, trimethylsilylpentadienyl, bis(trimethylsilyl)pentadienyl, cyclohexadienyl and dimethylcyclohexadienyl; dialkylaminoalkaryl, such as o-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl; and dialkylaminoaralkyl, such as o-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzyl; salts of Group 1, 2 or 13 metals, preferably the salts of lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and aluminum. Preferred silylating and hydrocarbylating agents include trimethylaluminum, methyllithium, methyl magnesium chloride, neopentyllithium, trimethylsilylmethyl magnesium chloride and phenylhthium. Stabilizing group-containing hydrocarbylating agents are also included, especially the stabilizing group-containing hydrocarbylating agents and salts of the stabilizing group-containing hydrocarbyl groups described in U.S. 5,504,224, whose salts include, for example, benzyl potassium, 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzyllithium, allyllithium and dimethylpentadienyl potassium. The stabilizing groups are further described in U.S. Serial No. 8003, filed January 21, 1993 (corresponding to WO 93/19104), incorporated herein by reference. Preferred halides or alkoxides of the metal (III) halide or alkoxide complexes and the CGC metal (HI) halide or alkoxide complexes include fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, methoxide, ethoxide, i-propoxide, n- propoxide, butoxide and phenoxide. Preferred metal (III) halide or alkoxide complexes include titanium (HI) chloride, titanium (HI) ethoxide, titanium (III) bromide, titanium (III) isopropoxide, titanium (III) (dichloro)(isopropoxide), as well as Lewis base complexes of the foregoing, especially ether complexes thereof, particularly diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether complexes thereof. Preferred cyclopentadienyl-containing Group 4 metal complexes in the +3 oxidation state include triscyclopeatadienyl titanium, biscyclopentadienyl titanium chloride, biscyclopentadienyl titanium bromide, biscyclopentadienyl titanium isopropoxide, cyclopentadienyl titanium dichloride, cyclopentadienyl titanium diphenoxide, cyclopentadienyl titanium dimethoxide and bis((trimethylsilyl)(t-butyl)cyclopentadienyl)zirconium chloride. The ligands of this invention are 3-heteroatom substituted cyclopentadienyl-containing ligands where the ligand is in the form of: (A) a free base with 2 protons capable of being deprotonated; (B) a dilithium salt; (C) a magnesium salt; or (D) a mono or disilylated dianion. Within the scope of this invention is the use of a ligand of this invention for synthesis to produce a metal complex of this invention, for synthesis to produce a metal complex comprising a metal from one of Groups 3 to 13 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, the lanthanides or actinides, and from 1 to 4 of the ligands. The ligands of this invention may be used in various forms, including salts, with various groups attached at the Z position in syntheses leading to metal complexes in which the metal is from Groups 3-16 of periodic table or the lanthanides, and in which from one to four of these ligands, alone or in combination with other ligands, are present in the metal complex. The methods of synthesis may be similar or analogous to those discussed herein for the Group 4 metal complexes of this invention, as well as various other synthetic procedures known in the art. The metal complexes are useful as catalysts in various reactions, including olefin polymerization reactions. Obviously, naming of these metal complexes, as well as the neutral ligands and various intermediates is complicated and challenging, and the rules in various systems for these names are evolving. Therefore, reference to the structural representations is recommended. Generally, with attachment of the bridge of a constrained geometry complex or of a bridged bis-Cp complex in the 1-position, the heteroatom then is in the 3-position. The structural representations herein should not be given a strictly literal interpretation with regard to bond orders, bond lengths or strengths. For example, the X-ray data show that the N-Cp bonds of some complexes are shorter than would be expected for a single bond, which indicates at least some double bond character in the N-Cp bond. If the ligands are used in complexes with only rp attachment, where there is no bridge, the heteroatom in those cases may be named as being in the 1-position. Within the scope of the above discussion relating to ligands, preferred ligands of this invention correspond to the formula: where x is 0 or 1, y is 0 or 1, z is 0 or 1, x + y is 0 or 1, x + z is 0 or 1, and the other symbols are as previously defined, where the dotted circle within the Cp ring implies the various possibilities for double bond character, partial double bond character or aromatic character as appropriate, depending upon the values for x, y, and z. The complexes are rendered catalytically active by combination with an activating cocatalyst or by use of an activating technique. Suitable activating cocatalysts for use herein include polymeric or oligomeric alumoxanes, especially methylalumoxane, triisobutyl aluminum modified methylalumoxane, or isobutylalumoxane; neutral Lewis acids, such as C1-45 hydrocarbyl substituted Group 13 compounds, especially tri(hydrocarbyl)aluminum- or tri(hydrocarbyl)boron compounds and halogenated (including perhalogenated) derivatives thereof, having from 1 to 15 carbons in each hydrocarbyl or halogenated hydrocarbyl group, more especially perfluorinated tri(aryl)boron compounds, and most especially tris(o-nonafluorobiphenyl)borane, tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane; nonpolymeric, compatible, noncoordinating, ion forming compounds (including the use of such compounds under oxidizing conditions), especially the use of ammonium-, phosphonium-, oxonium-, carbonium-, silylium- or sulfonium- salts of compatible, noncoordinating anions, or ferrocenium salts of compatible, noncoordinating anions; bulk electrolysis (explained in more detail hereinafter); and combinations of the foregoing activating cocatalysts and techniques. The foregoing activating cocatalysts and activating techniques have been previously taught with respect to different metal complexes in the following references: EP-A-277,003, U.S.-A-5,153,157, U.S.-A-5,064,802, EP-A-468,651 (equivalent to U.S. Serial No. 07/547,718), EP-A-520,732 (equivalent to U.S. Serial No. 07/876,268), and EP-A-520,732 (equivalent to U.S. Serial No. 07/884,966 filed May 1, 1992), the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Combinations of neutral Lewis acids, especially the combination of a trialkyl aluminum compound having from 1 to 4 carbons in each alkyl group and a halogenated tri(hydrocarbyl)boron compound having from 1 to 20 carbons in each hydrocarbyl group, especially tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, tris(o-nonafluorobiphenyl)borane, further combinations of such neutral Lewis acid mixtures with a polymeric or oligomeric alumoxane, and combinations of a single neutral Lewis acid, especially tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane with a polymeric or oligomeric alumoxane are especially desirable activating cocatalysts. A benefit according to the present invention is the discovery that the most efficient catalyst activation using such a combination of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane/alumoxane mixture occurs at reduced levels of alumoxane. Preferred molar ratios of Group 4 metal complex:tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane:alumoxane are from 1:1:1 to 1:5:5, more preferably from 1:1:1.5 to 1:5:3. The surprising efficient use of lower levels of alumoxane with the present invention allows for the production of olefin polymers with high catalytic efficiencies using less of the expensive alumoxane cocatalyst. Additionally, polymers with lower levels of aluminum residue, and hence greater clarity, are obtained. Suitable ion forming compounds useful as cocatalysts in one embodiment of the present invention comprise a cation which is a Bronsted acid capable of donating a proton, and a compatible, noncoordinating anion, A". As used herein, the term "noncoordinating" means an anion or substance which either does not coordinate to the Group 4 metal containing precursor complex and the catalytic derivative derived therefrom, or which is only weakly coordinated to such complexes thereby remaining sufficiently labile to be displaced by a neutral Lewis base. A noncoordinating anion specifically refers to an anion which when functioning as a charge balancing anion in a cationic metal complex does not transfer an anionic substituent or fragment thereof to said cation thereby forming neutral complexes. "Compatible anions" are anions which are not degraded to neutrality when the initially formed complex decomposes and are noninterfering with desired subsequent polymerization or other uses of the complex. Preferred anions are those containing a single coordination complex comprising a charge-bearing metal or metalloid core which anion is capable of balancing the charge of the active catalyst species (the metal cation) which may be formed when the two components are combined. Also, said anion should be sufficiently labile to be displaced by olefinic, diolefinic and acetylenically unsaturated compounds or other neutral Lewis bases such as ethers or nitriles. Suitable metals include, but are not limited to, aluminum, gold and platinum. Suitable metalloids include, but are not limited to, boron, phosphorus, and silicon. Compounds containing anions which comprise coordination complexes containing a single metal or metalloid atom are, of course, well known and many, particularly such compounds containing a single boron atom in the anion portion, are available commercially. Preferably such cocatalysts may be represented by the following general formula: (L*-H)d+(A)d- wherein: L* is a neutral Lewis base; (L*-H)+ is aBronsted acid; (A)d- is a noncoordinating, compatible anion having a charge of d-, and d is an integer from 1 to 3. More preferably (A)d- corresponds to the formula: [M'Q4.]~; wherein: M' is boron or aluminum in the +3 formal oxidation state; and Q independently each occurrence is selected from hydride, dialkylamido, halide, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxide, halosubstituted-hydrocarbyl, halosubstituted hydrocarbyloxy, and halo- substituted silylhydrocarbyl radicals (including perhalogenated hydrocarbyl- perhalogenated hydrocarbyloxy- and perhalogenated silylhydrocarbyl radicals), said Q having up to 20 carbons with the proviso that in not more than one occurrence is Q halide. Examples of suitable hydrocarbyloxide Q groups are disclosed in U.S. Patent 5,296,433, the teachings of which are herein incorporated by reference. In a more preferred embodiment, d is one, that is, the counter ion has a single negative charge and is A". Activating cocatalysts comprising boron which are particularly useful in the preparation of catalysts of this invention may be represented by the following general formula: (L*-H)+(BQ4)-; wherein: L* is as previously defined; B is boron in a formal oxidation state of 3; and Q is a hydrocarbyl-, hydrocarbyloxy-, fluorinated hydrocarbyl-, fluorinated hydrocarbyloxy-, or fluorinated silylhydrocarbyl- group of up to 20 nonhydrogen atoms, with the proviso that in not more than one occasion is Q hydrocarbyl. Most preferably, Q is each occurrence a fluorinated aryl group, especially, a pentafluorophenyl group. Illustrative, but not limiting, examples of ion forming compounds comprising proton donatable cations which may be used as activating cocatalysts in the preparation of the catalysts of this invention are tri-substituted ammonium salts such as: trimethylammoniumtetraphenylborate, methyldioctadecylammonium tetraphenylborate, triethylammonium tetraphenylborate, tripropylammonium tetraphenylborate, tri(n-butyl)ammonium tetraphenylborate, methyltetradecyloctadecylammonium tetraphenylborate, N,N-dimethylanilinium tetraphenylborate, N,N-diethylanilinium tetraphenylborate, N,N-dimethyl(2,4,6-trimethylanilinium) tetraphenylborate, trimethylammonium tetrakis(penta-fluorophenyl)borate, triethylammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, tripropylammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, tri(n-butyl)ammoniumtetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, tri(sec-butyl)ammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, N,N-dimethylaniliniumtetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, N,N-diethylanilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, N,N-dimethyl(2,4,6-trimethylanilinium) tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, trimethylammonium tetrakis(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate, triethylammonium tetrakis(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate, tripropylammonium tetrakis(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate, tri(n-butyl)ammonium tetrakis(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate, dimethyl(t-butyl)ammonium tetrakis(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate, N,N-dimethylaniliniumtetrakis(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate, N,N-diethylaniliniumtetrakis(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate, and N,N-dimethyl-(2,4,6-trimethylanilinium) tetrakis-(2,3,4,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate. Dialkyl ammonium salts such as: di-(i-propyl)ammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, and dicyclohexylammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. Tri-substituted phosphonium salts such as: triphenylphosphonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, tri(o-tolyl)phosphonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, and tri(2,6-dimethylphenyl)phosphonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. Preferred are tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate salts of long chain alkyl mono-and disubstituted ammonium complexes, especially C14-C2O alkyl ammonium complexes, especially methyldi(octadecyl)ammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate and methyldi(tetradecyl)ammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. An especially preferred group of activating cocatalysts is tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, N-R3,N-R4 anilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate where R3 and R4 independently each occurrence are substituted or unsubstituted saturated hydrocarbyl groups having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, ( RBR2NHCH3)+ (C6H4OH)B(C6F5)3", or ( RBNHCHs)* B(C6F5)4 *, where R\ and R2 independently each occurrence are substituted or unsubstituted saturated hydrocarbyl groups having from 12 to 30 carbon atoms. Another suitable ion forming, activating cocatalyst comprises a salt of a cationic oxidizing agent and a noncoordinating, compatible anion represented by the formula: (Oxe+)d (Ad-)c. wherein: Oxe+ is a cationic oxidizing agent having a charge of e+; e is an integer from 1 to 3; and A^_ and d are as previously defined. Examples of cationic oxidizing agents include: ferrocenium, hydrocarbyl- substituted ferrocenium, Ag+' or Pb+2. Preferred embodiments of A^~ are those anions previously defined with respect to the Bronsted acid containing activating cocatalysts, especially tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. Another suitable ion forming, activating cocatalyst comprises a compound which is a salt of a carbenium ion and a noncoordinating, compatible anion represented by the formula: ©+A" wherein: ©+ is a Ci_20 carbenium ion; and A" is as previously defined. A preferred carbenium ion is the trityl cation, i.e. triphenylmethylium. A further suitable ion forming, activating cocatalyst comprises a compound which is a salt of a silylium ion and a noncoordinating, compatible anion represented by the formula: R3Si(X')q+A" wherein: R is C 1.10 hydrocarbyl, and X', q and A" are as previously defined. Preferred silylium salt activating cocatalysts are trimethylsilylium tetrakispentafluorophenylborate, triethylsilylium tetrakispentafluorophenylborate and ether substituted adducts thereof. Silylium salts have been previously generically disclosed in J. Chem Soc. Chem. Comm., 1993, 383-384, as well as Lambert, J. B., et al„ Organometallics, 1994, 13, 2430-2443. The use of the above silylium salts as activating cocatalysts for addition polymerization catalysts is claimed in United States Patent Application entitled, "Silylium Cationic Polymerization Activators For Metallocene Complexes", filed in the names of David Neithamer, David Devore, Robert LaPointe and Robert Mussell on September 12, 1994. Certain complexes of alcohols, mercaptans, silanols, and oximes with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane are also effective catalyst activators and may be used according to the present invention. Such cocatalysts are disclosed in U.S. 5,296,433, the teachings of which are herein incorporated by reference. The technique of bulk electrolysis involves the electrochemical oxidation of the metal complex under electrolysis conditions in the presence of a supporting electrolyte comprising a noncoordinating, inert anion. In the technique, solvents, supporting electrolytes and electrolytic potentials for the electrolysis are used such that electrolysis byproducts that would render the metal complex catalytically inactive are not substantially formed during the reaction. More particularly, suitable solvents are materials that are: liquids under the conditions of the electrolysis (generally temperatures from 0 to 100°C), capable of dissolving the supporting electrolyte, and inert. "Inert solvents" are those that are not reduced or oxidized under the reaction conditions employed for the electrolysis. It is generally possible in view of the desired electrolysis reaction to choose a solvent and a supporting electrolyte that are unaffected by the electrical potential used for the desired electrolysis. Preferred solvents include difluorobenzene (all isomers), dimethoxyethane (DME), and mixtures thereof. The electrolysis may be conducted in a standard electrolytic cell containing an anode and cathode (also referred to as the working electrode and counter electrode respectively). Suitable materials of construction for the cell are glass, plastic, ceramic and glass coated metal. The electrodes are prepared from inert conductive materials, by which are meant conductive materials that are unaffected by the reaction mixture or reaction conditions. Platinum or palladium are preferred inert conductive materials. Normally an ion permeable membrane such as a fine glass frit separates the cell into separate compartments, the working electrode compartment and counter electrode compartment. The working electrode is immersed in a reaction medium comprising the metal complex to be activated, solvent, supporting electrolyte, and any other materials desired for moderating the electrolysis or stabilizing the resulting complex. The counter electrode is immersed in a mixture of the solvent and supporting electrolyte. The desired voltage may be determined by theoretical calculations or experimentally by sweeping the cell using a reference electrode such as a silver electrode immersed in the cell electrolyte. The background cell current, the current draw in the absence of the desired electrolysis, is also determined. The electrolysis is completed when the current drops from the desired level to the background level. In this manner, complete conversion of the initial metal complex can be easily detected. Suitable supporting electrolytes are salts comprising a cation and a compatible, noncoordinating anion, A-. Preferred supporting electrolytes are salts corresponding to the formula G+A"; wherein: G+ is a cation which is nonreactive towards the starting and resulting complex, and A" is as previously defined. Examples of cations, G+, include tetrahydrocarbyl substituted ammonium or phosphonium cations having up to 40 nonhydrogen atoms. Preferred cations are the tetra(n-butylammonium)- and tetraethylammonium- cations. During activation of the complexes of the present invention by bulk electrolysis the cation of the supporting electrolyte passes to the counter electrode and A" migrates to the working electrode to become the anion of the resulting oxidized product. Either the solvent or the cation of the supporting electrolyte is reduced at the counter electrode in equal molar quantity with the amount of oxidized metal complex formed at the working electrode. Preferred supporting electrolytes are tetrahydrocarbylammonium salts of tetrakis(perfluoroaryl) borates having from 1 to 10 carbons in each hydrocarbyl or perfluoroaryl group, especially tetra(n-butylammonium)tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) borate. A further recently discovered electrochemical technique for generation of activating cocatalysts is the electrolysis of a disilane compound in the presence of a source of a noncoordinating compatible anion. This technique is more fully disclosed and claimed in the previously mentioned United States Patent application entitled, "Silylium Cationic Polymerization Activators For Metallocene Complexes", filed on September 12, 1994. The foregoing electrochemical activating technique and activating cocatalysts may also be used in combination. An especially preferred combination is a mixture of a tri(hydrocarbyl)aluminum or tri(hydrocarbyl)borane compound having from 1 to 4 carbons in each hydrocarbyl group with an oligomeric or polymeric alumoxane compound. The molar ratio of catalyst/cocatalyst employed preferably ranges from 1:10,000 to 100:1, more preferably from 1:5000 to 10:1, most preferably from 1:1000 to 1:1. Alumoxane, when used by itself as an activating cocatalyst, is employed in large quantity, generally at least 100 times the quantity of metal complex on a molar basis. Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, where used as an activating cocatalyst, is employed in a molar ratio to the metal complex of form 0.5:1 to 10:1, more preferably from 1:1 to 6:1, most preferably from 1:1 to 5:1. The remaining activating cocatalysts are generally employed in approximately equimolar quantity with the metal complex. The process may be used to polymerize ethylenically unsaturated monomers having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms either alone or in combination. Preferred monomers include monovinylidene aromatic monomers, especially styrene, 4-vinylcyclohexene, vinylcyclohexane, norbornadiene and C2-10 aliphatic ce-olefins, especially ethylene, propylene, isobutylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 3-methyl-l-pentene, 4-methyl- 1-pentene, 1-heptene, and 1-octene, 04.49 dienes, and mixtures thereof. Most preferred monomers are ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene and mixtures of ethylene, propylene and a nonconjugated diene, especially ethylidenenorbornene. In general, the polymerization may be accomplished at conditions well known in the prior art for Ziegler-Natta or Kaminsky-Sinn type polymerization reactions, that is, temperatures from 0-250°C, preferably 30 to 200°C and pressures from atmospheric to 10,000 atmospheres. Suspension, solution, slurry, gas phase, bulk, solid state powder polymerization or other process condition may be employed if desired. A support, especially silica, alumina, or a polymer (especially poly(tetrafluoroethylene) or a polyolefin) may be employed, and desirably is employed when the catalysts are used in a gas phase or slurry polymerization process. The support is preferably employed in an amount to provide a weight ratio of catalyst (based on metal):support from 1:100,000 to 1:10, more preferably from 1:50,000 to 1:20, and most preferably from 1:10,000 to 1:30. One such polymerization process comprises: contacting, optionally in a solvent, one or more a-olefins with a catalyst according to the present invention, in one or more continuous stirred tank or tubular reactors, connected in series or parallel, or in the absence of solvent, optionally in a fluidized bed gas phase reactor, and recovering the resulting polymer. Condensed monomer or solvent may be added to the gas phase reactor as is well known in the art. In most polymerization reactions the molar ratio of catalyst:polymerizable compounds employed is from 10"*2:1 to 10'^:1, more preferably from 10"^:1 to 10-5:1. Suitable solvents for polymerization are inert liquids. Examples include straight and branched-chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, and mixtures thereof; cyclic and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, methylcycloheptane, and mixtures thereof; perfluorinated hydrocarbons such as perfluorinated C1-4 alkanes, and the like and aromatic and alkvl-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and the like. Suitable solvents also include liquid olefins which may act as monomers or comonomers including ethylene, propylene, butadiene, 1-butene, cyclopentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 4-vinylcyclohexene, vinylcyclohexane, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 4-methyl-l-pentene, 1,4-hexadiene, 1-octene, 1-decene, styrene, divinylbenzene, allylbenzene, vinyltoluene (including all isomers alone or in admixture), and the like. Mixtures of the foregoing are also suitable. The catalyst systems may be utilized in combination with at least one additional homogeneous or heterogeneous polymerization catalyst in separate reactors connected in series or in parallel to prepare polymer blends having desirable properties. An example of such a process is disclosed in WO 94/00500, equivalent to U.S. Serial Number 07/904,770, as well as U.S. Serial Number 08/10958, filed January 29, 1993, the teachings or which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Utilizing the catalyst systems of the present invention copolymers having high comonomer incorporation and correspondingly low density, yet having a low melt index may be readily prepared. That is, high molecular weight polymers are readily attained by use of the present catalysts even at elevated reactor temperatures. This result is highly desirable because the molecular weight of a-olefin copolymers can be readily reduced by the use of hydrogen or similar chain transfer agent, however increasing the molecular weight of a-olefin copolymers is usually only attainable by reducing the polymerization temperature of the reactor. Disadvantageously, operation of a polymerization reactor at reduced temperatures significantly increases the cost of operation since heat must be removed from the reactor to maintain the reduced reaction temperature, while at the same time heat must be added to the reactor effluent to vaporize the solvent. In addition, productivity is increased due to improved polymer solubility, decreased solution viscosity, and a higher polymer concentration. Utilizing the present catalysts, a-olefin homopolymers and copolymers having densities from 0.85 g/cm^ to 0.96 g/cm^, and melt flow rates from 0.001 to 10.0 dg/min are readily attained in a high temperature process. The catalyst systems of the present invention are particularly advantageous for the production of ethylene homopolymers and ethylene/a-olefin copolymers having high levels of long chain branching. The use of the catalyst systems of the present invention in continuous polymerization processes, especially continuous, solution polymerization processes, allows for elevated reactor temperatures which favor the formation of vinyl terminated polymer chains that may be incorporated into a growing polymer, thereby giving a long chain branch. The use of the present catalysts system advantageously allows for the economical production of ethylene/a-olefin copolymers having processability similar to high pressure, free radical produced low density polyethylene. In another aspect of the processes of this invention, a preferred process is a high temperature solution polymerization process for the polymerization of olefins comprising contacting one or more C2-2O ^-olefins under polymerization conditions with a catalyst system of this invention at a temperature from about 100°C to about 250°C. More preferred as a temperature range for this process is a temperature from about 120°C to about 200°C, and even more preferred is temperature from about 150°C to about 200°C. The present catalysts system may be advantageously employed to prepare olefin polymers having improved processing properties by polymerizing ethylene alone or ethylene/a-olefin mixtures with low levels of a "H" branch inducing diene, such as norbornadiene, 1,7-octadiene, or 1,9-decadiene. The unique combination of elevated reactor temperatures, high molecular weight (or low melt indices) at high reactor temperatures and high comonomer reactivity advantageously allows for the economical production of polymers having excellent physical properties and processability. Preferably such polymers comprise a C3_20 ot-olefin, including ethylene, and a "H"-branching comonomer. Preferably, such polymers are produced in a solution process, most preferably a continuous solution process. Alternatively, such polymers may be produced in a gas phase process or a slurry process. As previously mentioned, the present catalyst system is particularly useful in the preparation of EP and EPDM copolymers in high yield and productivity. The process employed may be either a solution or slurry process both of which are previously known in the art. Kaminsky, J. Poly. Sci., Vol. 23, pp. 2151-64 (1985) reported the use of a soluble bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dimethyl-alumoxane catalyst system for solution polymerization of EP and EPDM elastomers. U.S. 5,229,478 disclosed a slurry polymerization process utilizing similar bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium based catalyst systems. In general terms, it is desirable to produce such EP and EPDM elastomers under conditions of increased reactivity of the diene monomer component. The reason for this was explained in the above-identified '478 patent in the following manner, which still remains true despite the advances attained in such reference. A major factor affecting production costs and hence the utility of an EPDM is the diene monomer cost. The diene is a more expensive monomer material than ethylene or propylene. Further, the reactivity of diene monomers with previously known metallocene catalysts is lower than that of ethylene and propylene. Consequently, to achieve the requisite degree of diene incorporation to produce an EPDM with an acceptably fast cure rate, it has been necessary to use a diene monomer concentration which, expressed as a percentage of the total concentration of monomers present, is in substantial excess compared to the percentage of diene desired to be incorporated into the final EPDM product. Since substantial amounts of unreacted diene monomer must be recovered from the polymerization reactor effluent for recycle the cost of production is increased unnecessarily. Further adding to the cost of producing an EPDM is the fact that, generally, the exposure of an olefin polymerization catalyst to a diene, especially the high concentrations of diene monomer required to produce the requisite level of diene incorporation in the final EPDM product, often reduces the rate or activity at which the catalyst will cause polymerization of ethylene and propylene monomers to proceed. Correspondingly, lower throughputs and longer reaction times have been required, compared to the production of an ethylene-propylene copolymer elastomer or other a-olefin copolymer elastomer. The present catalyst system advantageously allows for increased diene reactivity thereby preparing EPDM polymers in high yield and productivity. Additionally, the catalyst system of the present invention achieves the economical production of EPDM polymers with diene contents of up to 20 weight percent or higher, which polymers possess highly desirable fast cure rates. The nonconjugated diene monomer can be a straight chain, branched chain or cyclic hydrocarbon diene having from about 6 to about 15 carbon atoms. Examples of suitable nonconjugated dienes are straight chain acyclic dienes such as 1,4-hexadiene and 1,6-octadiene; branched chain acyclic dienes such as 5-methyl-l,4-hexadiene; 3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene; 3,7-dimethyl-l,7-octadiene and mixed isomers of dihydromyricene and dihydroocinene; single ring alicyclic dienes such as 1,3-cyclopentadiene; 1,4-cyclohexadiene; 1,5-cyclooctadiene and 1,5-cyclododecadiene: and multi-ring alicyclic fused and bridged ring dienes such as tetrahydroindene, methyl tetrahydroindene, dicyclopentadiene; bicyclo-(2,2,l)-hepta-2, 5-diene; alkenyl, alkylidene, cycloalkenyl and cycloalkylidene norbornenes such as 5-methylene-2-norbornene (MNB); 5-propenyl-2-norbornene, 5-isopropylidene-2-norbornene, 5-(4-cyclopentenyl)-2-norbornene, 5-cyclohexylidene-2-norbornene, 5-vinyl-2-norbornene and norbornadiene. Of the dienes typically used to prepare EPDMs, the particularly preferred dienes are 1,4-hexadiene (HD), 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), 5-vinylidene-2-norbornene (VNB), 5-methylene-2-norbornene (MNB), and dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). The especially preferred dienes are 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) and l,4-hexadiene(HD). The preferred EPDM elastomers may contain about 20 up to about 90 weight percent ethylene, more preferably about 30 to 85 weight percent ethylene, most preferably about 35 to about 80 weight percent ethylene. The alpha-olefins suitable for use in the preparation of elastomers with ethylene and dienes are preferably C3_ jg alpha-olefins. Illustrative nonlimiting examples of such alpha-olefins are propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 4-rnethyl-1-pentene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 1-decene, and 1-dodecene. The alpha-olefin is generally incorporated into the EPDM polymer at about 10 to about 80 weight percent, more preferably at about 20 to about 65 weight percent. The nonconjugated dienes are generally incorporated into the EPDM at about 0.5 to about 20 weight percent; more, preferably at about 1 to about 15 weight percent, and most preferably at 3 to about 12 weight percent. If desired, more than one diene may be incorporated simultaneously, for example HD and ENB, with total diene incorporation within the limits specified above. The catalyst system may be prepared as a homogeneous catalyst by addition of the requisite components to a solvent in which polymerization will be carried out by solution polymerization procedures. The catalyst system may also be prepared and employed as a heterogeneous catalyst by adsorbing the requisite components on a catalyst support material such as silica gel, alumina or other suitable inorganic support material. When prepared in heterogeneous or supported form, it is preferred to use silica as the support material. Inorganic support materials, such as, for example, silica, may be treated with aluminum alkyls or other chemical pacification agents to reduce surface hydroxyl content of the support. The heterogeneous form of the catalyst system may be employed in a gas phase or slurry polymerization. As a practical limitation, slurry polymerization takes place in liquid diluents under conditions in which the polymer product is substantially insoluble. Preferably, the diluent for slurry polymerization is one or more hydrocarbons with less than 5 carbon atoms. If desired, saturated hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane or butane may be used in whole or part as the diluent. Likewise the a-olefin monomer or a mixture of different ot-olefin monomers may be used in whole or part as the diluent. Most preferably the diluent comprises in at least major part the a-olefin monomer or monomers to be polymerized. The catalyst system of this invention may comprise an aluminum organometallic component which comprises an alumoxane, an aluminum alkyl or a combination thereof. This component may be present in a nonactivating amount and function primarily as a scavenger, or it may interact with the cocatalyst component to enhance the activity of the catalyst component, or it may do both. It is understood with suitable functionality on the catalyst or cocatalyst of the catalyst system can be covalently or ionically attached to the support material of the support component, which comprises a support material which is a polymer, an inorganic oxide, a metal halide, or a mixture thereof. Preferred supports for use in the present invention include highly porous silicas, aluminas, aluminosilicates, and mixtures thereof. The most preferred support material is silica. The support material may be in granular, agglomerated, pelletized, or any other physical form. Suitable materials include, but are not limited to, silicas available from Grace Davison (division of W.R. Grace & Co.) under the designations SD 3216.30, Davison Syloid 245, Davison 948 and Davison 952, and from Crossfield under the designation ES70, and from Degussa AG under the designation Aerosil 812; and aluminas available from Akzo Chemicals Inc. under the designation Ketzen Grade B. Supports suitable for the present invention preferably have a surface area as determined by nitrogen porosimetry using the B.E.T. method from 10 to about 1000 m^/g, and preferably from about 100 to 600 m^/g. The pore volume of the support, as determined by nitrogen adsorption, advantageously is between 0.1 and 3 cm^/g, preferably from about 0.2 to 2 cnvVg. The average particle size depends upon the process employed, but typically is from 0.5 to 500 ^im, preferably from 1 to 100 jam. Both silica and alumina are known to inherently possess small quantities of hydroxyl functionality. When used as a support herein, these materials are preferably subjected to a heat treatment and/or chemical treatment to reduce the hydroxyl content thereof. Typical heat treatments are carried out at a temperature from 30°C to 1000°C (preferably 250°C to 800°C for 5 hours or greater) for a duration of 10 minutes to 50 hours in an inert atmosphere or under reduced pressure. Typical chemical treatments include contacting with Lewis acid alkylating agents such as trihydrocarbyl aluminum compounds, trihydrocarbylchlorosilane compounds, trihydrocarbylalkoxysilane compounds or similar agents. Residual hydroxyl groups are then removed via chemical treatment. The support may be functionalized with a silane or chlorosilane functionalizing agent to attach thereto pendant silane -(Si-R)=, or chlorosilane -(Si-Cl)= functionality, wherein R is a Cj-io hydrocarbyl group. Suitable functionalizing agents are compounds that react with surface hydroxyl groups of the support or react with the silicon or aluminum of the matrix. Examples of suitable functionalizing agents include phenylsilane, hexamethyldisilazane diphenylsilane, methylphenylsilane, dimethylsilane, diethylsilane, dichlorosilane, and dichlorodimethylsilane. Techniques for forming such functionalized silica or alumina compounds were previously disclosed in U.S. Patents 3,687,920 and 3,879,368, the teachings of which are herein incorporated by reference. The support may also be treated with an aluminum component selected from an alumoxane or an aluminum compound of the formula AlRlx>R2yS wherein R* independently each occurrence is hydride or R, RB is hydride, R or OR, x' is 2 or 3, y' is 0 or 1 and the sum of x' and y' is 3. Examples of suitable R* and RB groups include methyl, methoxy, ethyl, ethoxy, propyl (all isomers), propoxy (all isomers), butyl (all isomers), butoxy (all isomers), phenyl, phenoxy, benzyl, and benzyloxy. Preferably, the aluminum component is selected from the group consisting of aluminoxanes and tri(C1-4 hydrocarbyl)aluminum compounds. Most preferred aluminum components are aluminoxanes, trimethylaluminum, triethyl aluminum, tri-isobutyl aluminum, and mixtures thereof. Alumoxanes (also referred to as aluminoxanes) are oligomeric or polymeric aluminum oxy compounds containing chains of alternating aluminum and oxygen atoms, whereby the aluminum carries a substituent, preferably an alkyl group. The structure of alumoxane is believed to be represented by the following general formulae (-Al(R)-0)m\ for a cyclic alumoxane, and R2Al-0(-Al(R)-0)m'-AlR2, for a linear compound, wherein R is as previously defined, and mJ is an integer ranging from 1 to about 50, preferably at least about 4. Alumoxanes are typically the reaction products of water and an aluminum alkyl, which in addition to an alkyl group may contain halide or alkoxide"groups. Reacting several different aluminum alkyl compounds, such as for example trimethyl aluminum and tri-isobutyl aluminum, with water yields so-called modified or mixed alumoxanes. Preferred alumoxanes are methyl alumoxane and methylalumoxane modified with minor amounts of C2-4 alkyl groups, especially isobutyl. Alumoxanes generally contain minor to substantial amounts of starting aluminum alkyl compound. Particular techniques for the preparation of alumoxane type compounds by contacting an aluminum alkyl compound with an inorganic salt containing water of crystallization are disclosed in U.S. 4,542,119. In a particular preferred embodiment an aluminum alkyl compound is contacted with a regeneratable water-containing substance such as hydrated alumina, silica or other substance. This is disclosed in EP-A-338,044. Thus the alumoxane may be incorporated into the support by reaction of a hydrated alumina or silica material, which has optionally been functionalized with silane, siloxane, hydrocarbyloxysilane, or chlorosilane groups, with a triC1-C10 alkyl) aluminum compound according to known techniques. For the teachings contained therein the foregoing patents and publications, or there corresponding equivalent United States applications, are hereby incorporated by reference. The treatment of the support material in order to also include optional alumoxane or trialkylaluminum loadings involves contacting the same before, after or simultaneously with addition of the complex or activated catalyst hereunder with the alumoxane or trialkylaluminum compound, especially triethylaluminum or triisobutylaluminum. Optionally the mixture can also be heated under an inert atmosphere for a period and at a temperature sufficient to fix the alumoxane, trialkylaluminum compound, complex or catalyst system to the support. Optionally, the treated support component containing alumoxane or the trialkylaluminum compound may be subjected to one or more wash steps to remove alumoxane or trialkylaluminum not fixed to the support. Besides contacting the support with alumoxane the alumoxane may be generated in situ by contacting an unhydrolyzed silica or alumina or a moistened silica or alumina with a trialkyl aluminum compound optionally in the presence of an inert diluent. Such a process is well known in the art, having been disclosed in EP-A-250,600; U.S.-A-4,912,075; and U.S.-A-5,008,228; the teachings of which, or of the corresponding U.S. application, are hereby incorporated by reference. Suitable aliphatic hydrocarbon diluents include pentane, isopentane, hexane, heptane, octane, isooctane, nonane, isononane, decane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane and combinations of two or more of such diluents. Suitable aromatic hydrocarbon diluents are benzene, toluene, xylene, and other alkyl or halogen substituted aromatic compounds. Most preferably, the diluent is an aromatic hydrocarbon, especially toluene. After preparation in the foregoing manner the residual hydroxyl content thereof is desirably reduced to a level less than 1.0 meq of OH per gram of support by any of the previously disclosed techniques. The cocatalysts of the invention may also be used in combination with a tri(hydrocarbyl)aluminum compound having from 1 to 10 carbons in each hydrocarbyl group, an oligomeric or polymeric alumoxane compound, a di(hydrocarbyl)(hydrocarbyloxy)aluminum compound having from 1 to 10 carbons in each hydrocarbyl or hydrocarbyloxy group, or a mixture of the foregoing compounds, if desired. These aluminum compounds are usefully employed for their beneficial ability to scavenge impurities such as oxygen, water, and aldehydes from the polymerization mixture. Preferred aluminum compounds include C2-6 trialkyl aluminum compounds, especially those wherein the alkyl groups are ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, neopentyl, or isopentyl, and methylalumoxane, modified methylalumoxane and diisobutylalumoxane. The molar ratio of aluminum compound to metal complex is preferably from 1:10,000 to 1000:1, more preferably from 1:5000 to 100:1, most preferably from 1:100 to 100:1. In contrast, solution polymerization takes place under conditions in which the diluent acts as a solvent for the respective components of the reaction, particularly the EP or EPDM polymer. Preferred solvents include mineral oils and the various hydrocarbons which are liquid at reaction temperatures. Illustrative examples of useful solvents include alk&nes such as pentane, isopentane, hexane, heptane, octane and nonane, as well as mixtures of alkanes including kerosene and Isopar E™, available from Exxon Chemicals Inc.; cycloalkanes such as cyclopentane and cyclohexane; and aromatics such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene and diethylbenzene. At all times, the individual ingredients as well as the recovered catalyst components must be protected from oxygen and moisture. Therefore, the catalyst components and catalysts must be prepared and recovered in an oxygen and moisture free atmosphere. Preferably, therefore, the reactions are performed in the presence of a dry, inert gas such as, for example, nitrogen. Ethylene is added to the reaction vessel in an amount to maintain a differential pressure in excess of the combined vapor pressure of the a-olefin and diene monomers. The ethylene content of the polymer is determined by the ratio of ethylene differential pressure to the total reactor pressure. Generally the polymerization process is carried out with a differential pressure of ethylene of from about 10 to about 1000 psi (70 to 7000 kPa), most preferably from about 40 to about 400 psi (30 to 300 kPa). The polymerization is generally conducted at a temperature of from 25 to 200°C, preferably from 75 to 170°C, and most preferably from greater than 95 to 140°C. The polymerization may be carried out as a batchwise or a continuous polymerization process. A continuous process is preferred, in which event catalyst, ethylene, a-olefin, and optionally solvent and diene are continuously supplied to the reaction zone and polymer product continuously removed therefrom. Within the scope of the terms "continuous" and "continuously" as used in this context are those processes in which there are intermittent additions of reactants and removal of products at small regular intervals, so that, over time, the overall process is continuous. Without limiting in any way the scope of the invention, one means for carrying out such a polymerization process is as follows: In a stirred-tank reactor propylene monomer is introduced continuously together with solvent, diene monomer and ethylene monomer. The reactor contains a liquid phase composed substantially of ethylene, propylene^and diene monomers together with any solvent or additional diluent. If desired, a small amount of a "H"-branch inducing diene such as norbornadiene? 1,7-octadiene or 1,9-decadiene may also be added. Catalyst and cocatalyst are continuously introduced in the reactor liquid phase. The reactor temperature and pressure may be controlled by adjusting the solvent/monomer ratio, the catalyst addition rate, as well as by cooling or heating coils, jackets or both. The polymerization rate is controlled by the rate of catalyst addition. The ethylene content of the polymer product is determined by the ratio of ethylene to propylene in the reactor, which is controlled by manipulating the respective feed rates of these components to the reactor. The polymer product molecular weight is controlled, optionally, by controlling other polymerization variables such as the temperature, monomer concentration, or by a stream of hydrogen introduced to the reactor, as is well known in the art. The reactor effluent is contacted with a catalyst kill agent such as water. The polymer solution is optionally heated, and the polymer product is recovered by flashing off gaseous ethylene and propylene as well as residual solvent or diluent at reduced pressure, and, if necessary, conducting further devolatilization in equipment such as a devolatilizing extruder. In a continuous process the mean residence time of the catalyst and polymer in the reactor generally is from about 5 minutes to 8 hours, and preferably from 10 minutes to 6 hours. In a preferred manner of operation, the polymerization is conducted in a continuous solution polymerization system comprising two reactors connected in series or parallel. In one reactor a relatively high molecular weight product (Mw from 300,000 to 600,000, more preferably 400,000 to 500,000) is formed while in the second reactor a product of a relatively low molecular weight (Mw 50,000 to 300,000) is formed. The final product is a blend of the two reactor effluents which are combined prior to devolatilization to result in a uniform blend of the two polymer products. Such a dual reactor process allows for the preparation of products having improved properties. In a preferred embodiment the reactors are connected in series, that is effluent from the first reactor is charged to the second reactor and fresh monomer, solvent and hydrogen is added to the second reactor. Reactor conditions are adjusted such that the weight ratio of polymer produced in the first reactor to that produced in the second reactor is from 20:80 to 80:20. In addition the temperature of the second reactor is controlled to produce the lower molecular weight product. This system beneficially allow for production of EPDM products having a large range of Mooney viscosities, as well as excellent strength and processability. Preferably the Mooney viscosity (ASTM D1646-94, ML1+4 @ 125°C) of the resulting product is adjusted to fall in the range from 1 to 200, preferably from 5 to 150 and most preferably from 10 to 110. The process of the present invention can be employed to advantage in the gas phase copolymerization of olefins. Gas phase processes for the polymerization of olefins, especially the homopolymerization and copolymerization of ethylene and propylene, and the copolymerization of ethylene with higher a-olefins such as, for example, 1-butene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-l-pentene are well known in the art. Such processes are used commercially on a large scale for the manufacture of high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and polypropylene. The gas phase process employed can be, for example, of the type which employs a mechanically stirred bed or a gas fluidized bed as the polymerization reaction zone. Preferred is the process wherein the polymerization reaction is carried out in a vertical cylindrical polymerization reactor containing a fluidized bed of polymer particles supported or suspended above a perforated plate, the fluidization grid, by a flow of fluidization gas. The gas employed to fluidize the bed comprises the monomer or monomers to be polymerized, and also serves as a heat exchange medium to remove the heat of reaction from the bed. The hot gases emerge from the top of the reactor, normally via a tranquilization zone, also known as a velocity reduction zone, having a wider diameter than the fluidized bed and wherein fine particles entrained in the gas stream have an opportunity to gravitate back into the bed. It can also be advantageous to use a cyclone to remove ultra-fine particles from the hot gas stream. The gas is then normally recycled to the bed by means of a blower or compressor and one or more heat exchangers to strip the gas of the heat of polymerization. A preferred method of cooling of the bed, in addition to the cooling provided by the cooled recycle gas, is to feed a volatile liquid to the bed to provide an evaporative cooling effect, often referred to as operation in the condensing mode. The volatile liquid employed in this case can be, for example, a volatile inert liquid, for example, a saturated hydrocarbon having about 3 to about 8, preferably 4 to 6, carbon atoms. In the case that the monomer or comonomer itself is a volatile liquid, or can be condensed to provide such a liquid, this can suitably be fed to the bed to provide an evaporative cooling effect. Examples of olefin monomers which can be employed in this manner are olefins containing about three to about eight, preferably three to six carbon atoms. The volatile liquid evaporates in the hot fluidized bed to form gas which mixes with the fluidizing gas. If the volatile liquid is a monomer or comonomer, it will undergo some polymerization in the bed. The evaporated liquid then emerges from the reactor as part of the hot recycle gas, and enters the compression/heat exchange part of the recycle loop. The recycle gas is cooled in the heat exchanger and, if the temperature to which the gas is cooled is below the dew point, liquid will precipitate from the gas. This liquid is desirably recycled continuously to the fluidized bed. It is possible to recycle the precipitated liquid to the bed as liquid droplets carried in the recycle gas stream. This type of process is described, for example in EP 89691; U.S. 4,543,399; WO 94/25495 and U.S. 5,352,749, which are hereby incorporated by reference. A particularly preferred method of recycling the liquid to the bed is to separate the liquid from the recycle gas stream and to reinject this liquid directly into the bed, preferably using a method which generates fine droplets of the liquid within the bed. This type of process is described in BP Chemicals' WO 94/28032, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The polymerization reaction occurring in the gas fluidized bed is catalyzed by the continuous or semi-continuous addition of catalyst. Such catalyst can be supported on an inorganic or organic support material as described above. The catalyst can also be subjected to a prepolymerization step, for example, by polymerizing a small quantity of olefin monomer in a liquid inert diluent, to provide a catalyst composite comprising catalyst particles embedded in olefin polymer particles. The polymer is produced directly in the fluidized bed by catalyzed copolymerization of the monomer and one or more comonomers on the fluidized particles of catalyst, supported catalyst or prepolymer within the bed. Start-up of the polymerization reaction is achieved using a bed of preformed polymer particles, which are preferably similar to the target polyolefin, and conditioning the bed by drying with inert gas or nitrogen prior to introducing the catalyst, the monomers and any other gases which it is desired to have in the recycle gas stream, such as a diluent gas, hydrogen chain transfer agent, or an inert condensable gas when operating in gas phase condensing mode. The produced polymer is discharged continuously or discontinuously from the fluidized bed as desired. The gas phase processes suitable for the practice of this invention are preferably continuous processes which provide for the continuous supply of reactants to the reaction zone of the reactor and the removal of products from the reaction zone of the reactor, thereby providing a steady-state environment on the macro scale in the reaction zone of the reactor. Typically, the fluidized bed of the gas phase process is operated at temperatures greater than 50°C, preferably from about 60°C to about 110°C, more preferably from about 70°C to about 110°C. Typically the molar ratio of comonomer to monomer used in the polymerization depends upon the desired density for the composition being produced and is about 0.5 or less. Desirably, when producing materials with a density range of from about 0.91 to about 0.93 the comonomer to monomer ratio is less than 0.2, preferably less than 0.05, even more preferably less than 0.02, and may even be less than 0.01. Typically, the ratio of hydrogen to monomer is less than about 0.5, preferably less than 0.2, more preferably less than 0.05, even more preferably less than 0.02 and may even be less than 0.01. The above-described ranges of process variables are appropriate for the gas phase process of this invention and may be suitable for other processes adaptable to the practice of this invention. A number of patents and patent applications describe gas phase processes which are adaptable for use in the process of this invention, particularly, U.S. Patents 4,588,790; 4,543,399; 5,352,749; 5,436,304; 5,405,922; 5,462,999; 5,461,123; 5,453,471; 5,032,562; 5,028,670; 5,473,028; 5,106,804; and EP applications 659,773; 692,500; and PCT Applications WO 94/29032, WO 94/25497, WO 94/25495, WO 94/28032: WO 95/13305; WO 94/26793; and WO 95/07942 all of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The catalysts, whether or not supported in any of the foregoing methods, may be used to polymerize ethylenically and/or acetylenically unsaturated monomers having from 2 to 100,000 carbon atoms either alone or in combination. Preferred monomers include the C2-20 a-olefins especially ethylene, propylene, isobutylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 3-methyl-l-pentene, 4-methyl-l-pentene, 1-octene, 1-decene, long chain macromolecular a-olefins, and mixtures thereof. Other preferred monomers include styrene, C1.4 alkyl substituted styrene, tetrafluoroethylene, vinylbenzocyclobutane, ethylidenenorbornene, 1,4-hexadiene, 1,7-octadiene, vinylcyclohexane, 4-vinylcyclohexene, divinylbenzene, and mixtures thereof with ethylene. Long chain macromolecular a-olefins are vinyl terminated polymeric remnants formed in situ during continuous solution polymerization reactions. Under suitable processing conditions such long chain macromolecular units are readily polymerized into the polymer product along with ethylene and other short chain olefin monomers to give small quantities of long chain branching in the resulting polymer. The catalysts may also be utilized in combination with at least one additional homogeneous or heterogeneous polymerization catalyst in the same or in separate reactors connected in series or in parallel to prepare polymer blends having desirable properties. An example of such a process is disclosed in WO 94/00500, equivalent to U.S. Serial Number 07/904,770, as well as U.S. Serial Number 08/10958, filed January 29, 1993, the teachings or which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. The highly prefered complexes of this invention have a nitrogen heteroatom bond to the 3-position of the cyclopentadienyl group. When used in an olefin polymerization catalyst system with tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron as the activating cocatlyst, an unusual blue color is observed. This can be due to the formation of a radical cation in which the titanium is in a formal oxidation state of (III), which may exist in a diamagnetic or paramagnetic form as shown below. While reserving our right not to be bound by any particular theory of the mechanism by which an olefin polymerization catalyst system comprising this complex would operate, polymerization could occur wherein the aforementioned • Ti(III) radical cation is an active participant. For the preferred polyolefin polymer compositions of this invention, which may be produced by the polymerization processes of this invention using the catalyst systems of this invention, the long chain branch is longer than the short chain branch that results from the incorporation of one or more a-olefin comonomers into the polymer backbone. The empirical effect of the presence of long chain branching in the copolymers of this invention is manifested as enhanced rheological properties which are indicated by higher flow activation energies, and greater I21/I2 than expected from the other structural properties of the compositions. Further, highly preferred polyolefin copolymer compositions of this invention have reverse molecular architecture, that is, there is a molecular weight maximum which occurs in that 50 percent by weight of the composition which has the highest weight percent comonomer content. Even more preferred are polyolefin copolymer compositions which also have long chain branches along the polymer backbone, especially when produced with a catalyst system of this invention having a single metallocene complex of this invention in a single reactor in a process for the polymerization of an a-olefin monomer with one or more olefin comonomers, more especially when the process is a continuous process. Measurement of comonomer content vs log molecular weight by GPC/FTIR The comonomer content as a function of molecular weight was measured by coupling a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) to a Waters 150°C Gel Permeation Chromatograph (GPC). The setting up, calibration and operation of this system together with the method for data treatment has been described previously (L.J. Rose et al, "Characterisation of Polyethylene Copolymers by Coupled GPC/FTIR" in "Characterisation of Copolymers", Rapra Technology, Shawbury UK, 1995, ISBN 1-85957-048-86.) In order to characterize the degree to which the comonomer is concentrated in the high molecular weight part of the polymer, the GPC/FTIR was used to calculate a parameter named comonomer partition factor, Cpf. Mn and Mw were also determined using standard techniques from the GPC data. Comonomer Partitioning Factor (GPC-FTIR) The comonomer partitioning factor Cpf is calculated from GPC/FTIR data. It characterizes the ratio of the average comonomer content of the higher molecular weight fractions to the average comonomer content of the lower molecular weight fractions. Higher and lower molecular weight are defined as being above or below the median molecular weight respectively, that is, the molecular weight distribution is divided into two parts of equal weight. Cpf is calculated from the following equation: normalized weight fraction as determined by GPC/FTIR for the n FTIR data points above the median molecular weight, CJ is the mole fraction comonomer content and w; is the normalized weight fraction as determined by GPC/FTIR for the m FTIR data points below the median molecular weight. Only those weight fractions, WJ or w; which have associated mole fraction comonomer content values are used to calculate Cpf. For a valid calculation, it is required that n and m are greater than or equal to 3. FTIR data corresponding to molecular weight fractions below 5,000 are not included in the calculation due to the uncertainties present in such data. For the polyolefin copolymer compositions of this invention, Cpf desirably is equal to or greater than 1.10, more desirably is equal to or greater than 1.15, even more desirably is equal to or greater than 1.20, preferably is equal to or greater than 1.30, more preferably is equal to or greater than 1.40, even more preferably is equal to or greater than 1.50, and still more preferably is equal to or greater than 1.60. ATREF-DV ATREF-DV has been described in U.S. Patent No. 4,798,081, which is hereby incorporated by reference, and in "Determination of Short-Chain Branching Distributions of Ethylene copolymers by Automated Analytical Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation" (Auto-ATREF), J. of ApplPol Sci: Applied Polymer Symposium 45, 25-37 (1990). ATREF-DV is a dual detector analytical system that is capable of fractionating semi-crystalline polymers like Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) as a function of crystallization temperature while simultaneously estimating the molecular weight of the fractions. With regard to the fractionation, ATREF-DV is analogous to Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation (TREF) analysis that have been published in the open literature over the past 15 years. The primary difference is that this Analytical - TREF (ATREF) technique is done on a small scale and fractions are not actually isolated. Instead, a typical liquid chromatographic (LC) mass detector, such as an infrared single frequency detector, is used to quantify the crystallinity distribution as a function of elution temperature. This distribution can then be transformed to any number of alternative domains such as short branching frequency, comonomer distribution, or possibly density. Thus, this transformed distribution can then be interpreted according to some structural variable like comonomer content, although routine use of ATREF for comparisons of various LLDPE's is often done directly in the elution temperature domain. To obtain ATREF-DV data, a commercially available viscometer especially adapted for LC analysis, such as a Viskotek™ is coupled with the IR mass detector. Together these two LC detectors can be used to calculate the intrinsic viscosity of the ATREF-DV eluant. The viscosity average molecular weight of a given fraction can then be estimated using appropriate Mark Houwink constants, the corresponding intrinsic viscosity, and suitable coefficients to estimate the fractions concentration (dl/g) as it passes through the detectors. Thus, a typical ATREF-DV report will provide the weight fraction polymer and viscosity average molecular weight as a function of elution temperature. Mpf is then calculated using the equation given. Molecular Weight Partitioning Factor The molecular weight partitioning factor Mpf is calculated from TREF/DV lata. It characterizes the ratio of the average molecular weight of the fractions with ligh comonomer content to the average molecular weight of the fractions with low :omonomer content. Higher and lower comonomer content are defined as being below :>r above the median elution temperature of the TREF concentration plot respectively, that is, the TREF data is divided into two parts of equal weight. Mpf is calculated from the following equation: the normalized weight fraction as determined by ATREF-DV for the n data points in the fractions below the median elution temperature. M; is the viscosity average molecular weight and w; is the normalized weight fraction as determined by ATREF-DV for the m data points in the fractions above the median elution temperature. Only those weight fractions, Wj or w; which have associated viscosity average molecular weights greater than zero are used to calculate Mpf. For a valid calculation, it is required that n and m are greater than or equal to 3. For the polyolefin copolymer compositions of this invention, Mpf desirably is equal to or greater than 1.15, more desirably is equal to or greater than 1.30, even more desirably is equal to or greater than 1.40, preferably is equal to or greater than 1.50, more preferably is equal to or greater than 1.60, even more preferably is equal to or greater than 1.70.

The following examples are provided as further illustration of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting. Unless stated to the contrary all parts and percentages are expressed on a weight basis. lH and ^C NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian XL (300 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts were determined relative to TMS or through the residual CHCI3 in CDCI3 or the residual C^HDs in C6D6, relative to TMS. Tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethylether, toluene, and hexane were used following passage through double columns charged with activated alumina and alumina supported mixed metal oxide catalyst (Q-5® catalyst, available from Engelhard Corp.). The compounds n-BuLi, Grignard reagents were all used as purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company. All syntheses were performed under dry nitrogen atmosphere using a combination of glove box and high vacuum techniques. Example A Preparation of Lithium 1-N-pyrrolidineindenide In a 150 ml of hexane 3.5 g of 1-N-pyrrolidineindene (can be made via the route of Noland, et ah, JOC, 1981, 46, 1940) (18.8 mmol) was added. To this solution 9.5 ml of nBuLi (2.0 M) was added dropwise over a 20 minute period. The solution was stirred 24 hours with deposition of a light yellow solid. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with hexane, dried in vacuo to give 3.61 g (100 percent yield) of product. Preparation of (N-t-Butylamino)(dimethyl)l-N-pyrrolidineindenyl) silane In the drybox in a round flask 100 ml of THF was stirred with 2.16 g of ClSiMe2NHCMe3 (17.3 mmol). To this solution a 50 ml THF solution containing 3.30 g (34.9 mmol) of lithium-1-N-pyrrolidineindenide was added dropwise. The solution was then stirred overnight. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure, the residue extracted with hexane, filtered, and the solvent again removed under reduced pressure to give 5.13 g of product (95 percent yield). Preparation of Dilithium (N-t-Butylamino)(dimethyl)(l-N-pyrrolidineindenide)silane In the drybox 5.13 g (16.3 mmol) of (N-t-Butylamino)(dimethyl)(l-N-pyrrolidineindenyl)silane was combined with 100 ml of hexane. To this solution 16.3 ml (32.6 mmol) of nBuLi (2.0 M) was added dropwise. Upon complete addition of the n-BuLi the solution was stirred overnight. The resulting precipitate was collected via filtration, washed with hexane to give 5.32 g (100 percent yield) of a yellow solid. Preparation of [(N-t-Butylamino)(dimethyl)( 1 -N-pyrrolidineindenyl)silane] Titanium Dichloride In the drybox 6.05 g (16.3 mmol) of TiCl3(THF)3 was dissolved in 75 ml of THF. To this solution 5.32 g (1.63 mmol) of dilithium (N-t-Butylamino)(dimethyl)(l-N-pyrrolidineindenyl)silane) was added as a solid while stirring. The solution was then stirred for 45 minutes. After this time period, 2.27 g of PbCl2 (8.2 mmol) was added and the solution stirred for 45 minutes. The THF was then removed under reduced pressure. The residue was then extracted with toluene, the solution filtered, and the toluene removed under reduced pressure. The residue was then triturated with hexane and the solution cooled to -20 °C for 3 hours. The blue precipitate was collected via filtration and washed with cold hexane. The solid product was dried under vacuum to yield 5.08 g (72 percent yield) of product.

To this suspension 1.05 ml of MeMgBr (3.0 M) was added dropwise while stirring over a 20 minute period. After the addition of MeMgl was completed, the solution was stirred for 40 minutes. Then the Et20 was removed under reduced pressure and the residue extracted with hexane, the solution filtered, the filtrate evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to give 0.47 g (80 percent yield) of product. Polymerizations A two-liter Parr reactor was charged with 740 g of Isopar-E™ mixed alkanes solvent (available from Exxon Chemicals Inc.) and 118 g of 1-octene comonomer. Hydrogen was added as a molecular weight control agent by differential pressure expansion from a 75 mL addition tank at 25 psi (2070 kPa). The reactor was heated to the polymerization temperature of 140°C and saturated with ethylene at 500 psig (3.4 MPa). The appropriate amount of catalyst and cocatalyst as 0.005M solutions in toluene were premixed in the drybox. After the desired premix time, the solution was transferred to a catalyst addition tank and injected into the reactor. The polymerization conditions were maintained for 15 minutes with ethylene on demand. The resulting solution was removed from the reactor, and a hindered phenol antioxidant (Irganox™ 1010 from Ciba Geigy Corporation) was added to the resulting solution. Polymers formed were dried in a vacuum oven set at 120°C for about 20 hours. Results are a Catalyst 1 - [(N-t-Butylamino)(dimethyl)(l-N-pyrrolidineindenyl)silane)] Titanium Dimethyl; Catalyst 2 - [(N-t-Butylamino)(dimethyl)(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) silane)] Titanium Dimethyl b Equimolar amounts of catalyst and cocatalyst were premixed together c grams polymer per gram Ti d melt index (dg/min) General Experimental for Examples 1-79. All experiments involving organometallic compounds were carried out using drybox techniques. Solvents (THF, hexane, toleuene, ether) were purified by passing through alumina and Q5 columns.

Example 1 Preparation of l,r,4,4'-Tetramethyl-2,3-dihydronapthalene. Benzene (500 mL) and 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanediol (50.00 g, 341.9 mmol) were cooled in an ice-bath as AICI3 (100.30 g, 752.24 mmol) was added slowly as a solid over a 30 minute period of time under a nitrogen flow such that the mixture never exceeded room temperature. The mixture was held at room temperature for 30 minutes and then heated to 50°C for 1 hour. It is critical that this reaction is closely monitored by GC and is terminated as the reaction is completed. Minor changes in reaction conditions results in varying reaction times. After the reaction period the mixture decanted over crushed ice careful to leave behind a smaller and denser oily phase. The upper phase of the reaction mixture was then transferred to an extraction funnel and washed with 1 M HC1 (1 x 200 mL), saturated NaHCC>3 (2 x 200 mL), and H2O (1 x 200 mL). The organic fraction was then dried over MgS04- The mixture was then filtered and the volatiles removed resulting in the isolation of the desired product as a clear colorless oil (53.10 g, 82.5 percent yield).

This mixture was then allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. After the reaction period the mixture was poured onto crushed ice. The organic layer was then separated and washed with 1M HC1 (1 x 200 mL), saturated NaHCC>3 (1 x 200 mL) and H2O (1 x 200 mL). The organic fraction was then dried over MgSC>4, filtered, and then the volatiles removed resulting in the isolation of a dark crystalline residue. Recrystallization from diethylether (0°C) resulted in the isolation of the desired product as a white crystalline solid (30.70 g, 75.2 percent yield).

The reaction was allowed to equilibrate to 25 °C and then was heated to 55 °C with stirring for 10 minutes. Workup of an aliquot revealed no starting material by *H NMR analysis. The solution was cooled to 10 °C and acetone (approximately 500 mg dried over 4A sieves) was added dropwise to destroy soluble titanium amide complex. Upon addition of the final amount of acetone all color was discharged and TiC>2 was formed.

DATA COLLECTION: A dark purple block-shaped crystal of dimensions 0.22 x 0.21 x 0.19 mm was immersed in oil, Paratone N, Exxon, and mounted on a thin glass fiber. The crystal was transferred to a Siemens SMART PLATFORM diffractometer equipped with a graphite monochromatic crystal, a MoKot radiation source (k = 0.71073 A), a CCD (charge coupled device) area detector which is kept at 5.078 cm from the crystal. The crystal was bathed in a cold nitrogen stream for the duration of data collection (-100 °C). Three sets of 20 frames each were collected covering three perpendicular sectors of space using the co scan method and with a ten second exposure time. Integration of the frames followed by reflection indexing and least squares refinement produced a crystal orientation matrix and a monclinic lattice. Data collection was set up to collect a total of 1381 frames in four different runs covering more than one full hemisphere of data. Frame scan parameters are summarized in the following table: Diffractometer setup includes a 0.8 mm collimator providing an X-ray beam of 0.8 mm in diameter. Generator power was set at 50 KV and 30 mA.
