Finely tuned nickel complexes as highly active catalysts affording branched polyethylene of high molecular weight: 1-(2,6-Dibenzhydryl-4- methoxyphenylimino)-2-(arylimino)acenaphthylenenickel halides
Abstract A series of unsymmetrical 1,2-bis(imino)acenaphthenenickel(II) halides containing N-2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-methoxyphenyl – a single bulky group with adjusted electron donating properties – has been synthesized and characterized. These compounds adopt distorted tetrahedral geometry and their 1H NMR spectra show the paramagnetically shifted peaks. On activation with a low amount of Et2AlCl or ethylaluminum sesquichloride (EASC), these nickel complexes display high activity in ethylene polymerization, yielding the polyethylene of high molecular weight. They are also stable at elevated temperature; superb activity of 2.51 × 106 g of PE (mol of Ni)−1 h−1 can be attained at 90 °C. The result…
