Compositions comprising:A) an aluminum compound corresponding to the formula AlArf3, whereArf is a fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbyl moiety of from 6 to 30 carbon atoms;B) an aluminum compound corresponding to the formula: AlArfQ1Q2, or a dimer, adduct, or mixture thereof; where:Arf is as previously defined;Q1 is Arf or a C1-20 hydrocarbyl group, optionally substituted with one or more cyclohydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbylsiloxy, hydrocarbylsilylamino, hydrocarbylsilyl, silylhydrocarbyl, di(hydrocarbylsilyl)amino, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, di(hydrocarbyl)phosphino, or hydrocarbylsulfido groups having from 1 to 20 atoms other than hydrogen, or, further optionally, such substituents may be covalently linked with each other to form one or more fused rings or ring systems; andQ2is an aryloxy, arylsulfide or di(hydrocarbyl)amido group, optionally substituted with one or more hydrocarbyl, cyclohydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbylsiloxy, hydrocarbylsilylamino, hydrocarbylsilyl, silyhydrocarbyl, di(hydrocarbylsilyl)amino, hydrocarbylamino, di(hydrocarbyl)amino, di(hydrocarbyl)phosphino, or hydrocarbylsulfido groups having from 1 to 20 atoms other than hydrogen, or, further optionally such substituents may be covalently linked with each other to form one or more fused rings or ring systems, said Q2 having from 3 to 20 atoms other than hydrogen; andthe molar ratio of A):B) in the composition being from 0.1:1 to 10:1 are useful as activators for olefin polymerizations.
