Ionic Liquids in Biphasic Ethylene Polymerisation
2011
Over the past several years there has been a considerable increase in the interest of ionic liquids as versatile reaction media for a wide variety of synthetic processes. The popularity of ionic liquids has been related primarily to their unique physical and chemical properties, which can be tailored by the judicious selection of cations and anions. These properties make it possible to use ionic liquids as solvents for many organic, inorganic, and organometallic compounds, including catalysts and co-catalysts, for various types of reactions. In particular, the polar but weakly coordinating character of ionic liquids enables them to be applied as mediums in catalysis, to immobilize various k…
Organolanthanides as single component homogeneous catalysts for isoprenehex—1-ene co-polymerisation
1999
Abstract Bisallylansalanthanide complexes act as single component catalysts of diene polymerisation; from an equimolar mixture of isoprene and hex-1-ene, a co-polymer hex-1-ene/isoprene = 1:10 is obtained, this copolymer is essentially formed of 1,4- trans polyisoprene blocks separated by only one inserted hexyl group.
Influence of Acidic Support in Metallocene Catalysts for Ethylene Polymerization
2001
Abstract We studied a ZSM-5 zeolite as metallocene support for ethylene polymerization. We transformed the Na-ZSM-5 into H-ZSM-5. After the cation exchange, the zeolite was calcined at three different temperatures. Characterization of the material indicated that by means of the calcination procedure it is possible to produce dealuminization with an increase in extraframework aluminum (EFAL). We prepared zirconocene-supported catalysts on zeolitic supports using two preparation methods. The higher activity was observed with the zirconocene supported on ZSM-5 pretreated at 900°C. We think that the dealuminization process generates an increase in EFAL. This EFAL is responsible for the higher a…
Studies of structural composition distribution heterogeneity in ethylene/1-hexene copolymers using thermal fractionation technique (SSA): Effect of c…
2005
Investigations into the compositional heterogeneity of ethylene/1-hexene copolymers obtained with various zirconocene/MAO catalysts, either homogeneous or supported on inorganic carriers such as a complex of magnesium chloride with tetrahydrofuran or methyl alcohol, were conducted. The dependence between metallocene structure, as well as catalyst immobilization, and the compositional heterogeneity of the related products was investigated. It was found that the heterogeneity of copolymers is determined by the metallocene catalyst structure. The amount of peaks on the DSC thermograms of copolymers and their division increase with the increase of bulkiness of the ligand in the catalytic system…
Copolymerization of Ethylene with Selected Vinyl Monomers Catalyzed by Group 4 Metal and Vanadium Complexes with Multidentate Ligands: A Short Review
2021
This paper gives a short overview of homogeneous post-metallocene catalysts based on group 4 metal and vanadium complexes bearing multidentate ligands. It summarizes the catalytic behavior of those catalysts in copolymerization of ethylene with 1-olefins, with styrenic monomers and with α,ω-alkenols. The review is focused on finding correlations between the structure of a complex, its catalyst activity and comonomer incorporation ability, as well as the microstructure of the copolymer chains.

Postęp badań w zakresie polimeryzacji olefin
2011
Na podstawie obszernego przeglądu literatury omówiono rozwój katalizatorów metaloorganicznych stosowanych w procesie polimeryzacji olefin z uwzględnieniem najnowszych badań w tym zakresie. Przedstawiono możliwości otrzymywania z ich udziałem produktów o różnej strukturze i właściwościach. Na tle postępu w technologii otrzymywania poliolefin scharakteryzowano wyniki najnowszych prac zespołu opolskiego, od wielu lat biorącego aktywny udział w badaniach nad opracowaniem i oceną właściwości katalitycznych kolejnych, nowych grup metaloorganicznych katalizatorów polimeryzacji i kopolimeryzacji olefin. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono katalizatorom zaliczanym do grupy układów postmetalocenowych z ligan…

2001
Dokonano przeglądu prac dotyczących komputerowego projektowania katalizatorów do polimeryzacji olefin z punktu widzenia wpływu katalizatorów na przebieg tego procesu. Omówiono osiągnięcia w teoretycznym przewidywaniu katalitycznych właściwości kompleksów metali przejściowych, które dokonały się dzięki zrozumieniu mechanizmu polimeryzacji, charakteru centrów aktywnych, przyczyn aktywności takich katalizatorów oraz roli poszczególnych ich składników. Przedstawiono również zagadnienia, na których prawdopodobnie skupią się obecne i przyszłe prace teoretyczne w dziedzinie polimeryzacji koordynacyjnej (rola kokatalizatorów i zasad Lewisa dodawanych do układów katalitycznych, wpływ warunków doświa…
Cytotoxic effects of Jay Amin hydroxamic acid (JAHA), a ferrocene-based class I histone deacetylase inhibitor, on triple-negative MDA-MB231 breast ca…
2012
The histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are a class of chemically heterogeneous anticancer agents of which suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is a prototypical member. SAHA derivatives may be obtained by three-dimensional manipulation of SAHA aryl cap, such as the incorporation of a ferrocene unit like that present in Jay Amin hydroxamic acid (JAHA) and homo-JAHA [ Spencer , et al. ( 2011 ) ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2 , 358 - 362 ]. These metal-based SAHA analogues have been tested for their cytotoxic activity toward triple-negative MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells. The results obtained indicate that of the two compounds tested, only JAHA was prominently active on breast cancer cells with a…
