Olefin polymerization processes are described herein. In one embodiment,
the process generally includes introducing propylene monomer to a
reaction zone, disposing an isospecific metallocene catalyst within the
reaction zone, wherein the isospecific metallocene catalyst has the
formula: (SiR.sup.A.sub.2)(CpR.sup.B.sub.4)(FluR.sup.C.sub.8)MA.sub.n
wherein Si is silicon and is a structural bridge between Cp and Flu, Cp
is a cyclopentadienyl group, Flu is a fluorenyl group, M is a transition
metal, A is a leaving group, n is an integer equal to the valence of M
minus 2, R.sup.A is independently selected from hydrogen, alkyls,
aromatics and combinations thereof, R.sup.B is independently selected
from hydrogen, alkyls and combinations thereof and R.sup.C is
independently selected from hydrogen, alkyls, aromatics and combinations
thereof, contacting the propylene monomer with the isospecific
metallocene catalyst to form isotactic polypropylene and recovering the
isotactic polypropylene from the reaction zone.
