Rare earth metal complexes that contain linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligands: ansa-metallocene mimics and “constrained geometry” catalysts
2003
A survey of group 3 metal complexes that contain a linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligand is given. Originally designed as ansa-metallocene analogues for the development of single-component olefin polymerization catalysts, variations in the metals and ligand substituents have allowed the synthetic access to new rare earth metal complexes including olefin polymerization initiators, divalent complexes and heterobimetallic metallocenes. The linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligands have made half-sandwich complexes of group 3 metals accessible in a more systematic manner and provided a better understanding of the electronic and steric constraints of chelating ligands for the larger rare earth metal …

Synthesis and activity of zirconocene catalysts supported on silica-type sol-gel carrier for ethylene polymerization
2001
Synthesis and activity of bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride catalyst supported on unconventional silica-type material obtained in sol-gel process and activated by organoaluminium co-catalyst were studied. The effect of support modification conditions (thermal dehydration and/or modification by organoaluminium compound) and a type of co-catalyst on an activity of the catalytic system in ethylene polymerization and properties of resulting polymers were investigated and compared with results obtained earlier for vanadium catalysts supported on mentioned sol-gel carrier. The most appropriate method of the sol-gel silica-type support preparation is thermal pre-treating (200°C) followed b…
(Co)polymerization behavior of supported metallocene catalysts. I. Ligand and substituent effect
2005
Ethylene polymerization and its copolymerization with 1-hexene with a set of supported metallocene catalysts were studied. As a carrier, the complex of mag- nesium chloride with tetrahydrofuran, which was previously pretreated with a triiso- butylaluminium (TIBA), was used. The investigated metallocene compound differs in the metal type (Zr or Ti), the nature of the alkyl substituent in the cyclopentadienyl ring, and the type of ligand (Cp or Ind). The effect of catalyst composition on the anchored metal content, catalyst activity, comonomer reactivity, and polymer proper- ties was investigated. The results obtained with supported catalysts were compared with those obtained with their homog…
Redox properties of titanocene-pyrrole derivative and its electropolymerization
2001
A new titanocene dichloride derivative in which one cyclopentadienyl ligand (Cp) is functionalized with a pyrrolyl ring, Tc3Py (Cl2TiCpC5H4(CH2)3NC4H4), has been synthesized and characterized with NMR. Its redox properties have been studied by CV in acetonitrile (AN), tetrahydrofurane (THF) and dichloromethane (DCM), in comparison with unsubstituted titanocene dichloride (Tc) and pyrrole. Ti(IV/III) transition observed within the negative potential range is a quasi-reversible reaction in THF and DCM (but without a complete recuperation of the initial reagent in the back scan) while the reoxidation peak in AN is strongly shifted in the positive direction. These results are interpreted within…
Synthesis of branched polyethylenes by the tandem catalysis of silica-supported linked cyclopentadienyl-amido titanium catalysts and a homogeneous di…
2003
The synthesis of branched polyethylenes by ethylene polymerization with new tandem catalyst systems consisting of methylaluminoxane-preactivated linked cyclopentadienyl-amido titanium catalysts [Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NR)Cl2 (R = Me or tBu)] supported on pyridylethylsilane-modified silica (PySTiNMe and PySTiNtBu) and homogeneous dibromo nickel catalyst having a pyridyl-2,6-diisopropylphenylimine ligand (PyminNiBr2) in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane was investigated. Ethylene polymerization with only PyminNiBr2 yielded a mixture of 1- and 2-olefin oligomers with methyl branches [weight-average molecular weight (Mw) ∼ 460)] with a ratio of about 1:7. By the combination of this nickel …
