Diene-Containing Half-Sandwich MoIII Complexes as Ethylene Polymerization Catalysts: Experimental and Theoretical Studies

2001

International audience; Seventeen-electron compounds of Mo III having the general formula [(h 5-C 5 R 5)Mo(h 4-diene)X 2 ] (R H, Me; diene butadiene, iso-prene, or 2,3-dimethylbutadiene; X Cl, CH 3) are a new class of ethylene polymerization catalysts. The polyethy-lene obtained shows a bimodal distribution , the major weight fraction being characterized by very long (M around 10 6) and highly linear polymer chains. The newly prepared pentamethylcyclo-pentadienyl (Cp*) derivatives are more active than the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) derivatives, but much less active than previously investigated niobium III compounds having the same stoichiometry. On the other hand, the turnover frequency of the a…

A practical ethylene polymerization for vinyl-polyethylenes: synthesis, characterization and catalytic behavior of α,α’-bisimino-2,3:5,6- bis(pentame…

2016

A series of α,α′-bis(arylimino)-2,3:5,6-bis(pentamethylene)pyridyliron chlorides was synthesized in a one-pot reaction and characterized by FT-IR and elemental analysis as well as X-ray crystallography for one representative iron complex, where the Fe center adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry with three coordinating nitrogen and two chlorine atoms. The iron precatalysts, upon treatment with either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), exhibit high activities in the range of 107 g of PE per mol of Fe per h toward ethylene polymerization, yielding highly linear and, more importantly, vinyl-polyethylenes. The correlation between the structural features of iron…

Finely tuned nickel complexes as highly active catalysts affording branched polyethylene of high molecular weight: 1-(2,6-Dibenzhydryl-4- methoxyphen…

2018

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…

Titanium-magnesium catalysts containing tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate for ethylene polymerization

2000

A complex [TiCl3(THF)2(CH3CO2C2H5] (I) was used as a pre-cursor of titanium-magnesium catalysts for ethylene polymerization. The complex was ball-milled in hexane with [MgCl2(THF)2] and activated with AlEt3 used as cocatalyst for 15 min at 323 K. Ethylene was polymerized at 323 K in hexane at a pressure of 0.5 MPa. The reaction was quenched with methanolic 5% HCl and the polymer was washed with methanol and dried at 303 K for 12 h at 5 hPa. The catalyst was found to be very active. Depen-ding on the nature of the cocatalyst used, the catalyst activity varied within a range of 21.5–93.0 kg PE/(g Ti ź h) and the resulting polymer was cha-racterized by specific gravity 0.955–0.968 g/cm3, bulk …

Effect of hydrogen on the ethylene polymerization process over Ziegler–Natta catalysts supported on MgCl2(THF)2. I. Studies of the chain‐transfer rea…

2001

The effect of hydrogen on the molecular weight of polyethylene obtained over vanadium catalysts (based on VCl4 and VOCl3) supported on MgCl2(THF)2 was studied and the results were compared to those obtained for similar titanium catalysts. It was confirmed that the dependencies of the transfer reaction on the hydrogen concentration are a half‐order in all investigated systems. However, the transition metal of the catalytic site affects the ratio of the transfer rate with hydrogen to the propagation rate (ktr,H/kp) and the results showed that hydrogen is a more effective agent of polyethylene molecular weight control in vanadium‐based systems as compared to the titanium catalyst.

Synthesis and catalytic studies of Ti-anchored disilanol isobutyl-POSS/alkylaluminum system

2012

Abstract Titanium (IV) precursors anchored to alkyl substituted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) disilanol were prepared and characterized. These catalysts formulated as [Ti(O^O)2] and [M(O^O)XCl] are found to be active in polymerization of ethylene at high temperatures in combination with ethylaluminum sesquichloride (Et3Al2Cl3) as co-catalyst. The polyethylene product so obtained is linear, crystalline and displays narrow dispersities. The unique low molecular weight PE formed in this reaction exhibit properties that have potential industrial applications. The effect of various reaction parameters on catalyst performance is described.

Chlorotitanium (IV) tetradentate Schiff-base complex immobilized on inorganic supports: Support type and other factors having effect on ethylene poly…

2009

A titanium complex with [O,N,N,O]-type tetradentate Schiff base (LTiCl2), never used before in polymerization of olefins, was immobilized on silica- and magnesium-type carriers, and it was used in ethylene polymerization. The conducted research revealed that the catalytic properties of the complex LTiCl2 supported on those carriers were different for both the catalytic systems studied, and simultaneously they turned out different from those of the unsupported system. The supported catalysts require the use of Me3Al, Et3Al, or MAO as the activator to be able to offer high catalytic activities, whereas Et2AlCl is needed for the nonsupported catalyst. This finding, together with considerable c…
