Effect of catalyst composition on chain‐end‐group of polyethylene produced by salen‐type complexes of titanium, zirconium, and vanadium
subject
polyethyleneFTIRorganometallic catalystsstructureNMRdescription
The chain end structures of polyethylenes produced by salen complexes of titanium, zirconium, and vanadium, activated by MAO or common alkylaluminium compounds were investigated by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. The polymerization process with the use of vanadium complexes was found to produce polymers with only vinyl end groups in practice. In the processes catalyzed by titanium and zirconium complexes activated by MAO or Et2AlCl, not only β‐hydrogen elimination and/or chain transfer to the monomer occurs but also the chain termination reaction takes place in which an organoaluminium cocatalyst is involved. That reaction proceed particularly easily in the systems: titanium complex/Et2AlCl.
