2017
A series of group 4 metal complexes bearing amine-bis(phenolate) ligands with the amino side-arm donor: (μ-O)[Me2N(CH2)2N(CH2-2-O-3,5-tBu2-C6H2)2ZrCl]2 (1a), R2N(CH2)2N(CH2-2-O-3-R1-5-R2-C6H2)2TiCl2 (R = Me, R1, R2 = tBu (2a), R = iPr, R1, R2 = tBu (2b), R = iPr, R1 = tBu, R2 = OMe (2c)), and Me2N(CH2)2N(CH2-2-O-3,5-tBu2-C6H2)(CH2-2-O-C6H4)TiCl2 (2d) are used in ethylene and propylene homopolymerization, and ethylene/1-octene copolymerization. All complexes, upon their activation with Al(iBu)3/Ph3CB(C6F5)4, exhibit reasonable catalytic activity for ethylene homo- and copolymerization giving linear polyethylene with high to ultra-high molecular weight (600·× 103–3600·× 103 g/mol). The activi…
Titanium and vanadium catalysts with oxazoline ligands for ethylene-norbornene (co)polymerization
2018
A series of catalysts, (Py-ox)TiCl4, (Py-box)TiCl4, (Py-ox)VCl3, (Py-box)VCl3, SIL/(Py-ox)VCl3, SIL/(Py-box)VCl3, with 2-(1,3-oxazolin-2-yl)pyridine (Py-ox) and 2,6-bis(1,3-oxazolin-2-yl)pyridine (Py-box) ligands, silica support modified by 1-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]pyridinium ethylchloroaluminate ionic liquid (SIL), activated by AlEt2Cl, AlEtCl2, and methylaluminoxane (MMAO) were studied in ethylene polymerization and ethylene-norbornene copolymerization. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction is given for both Py-ox and Py-box. The complexation was confirmed by NMR and ESI-MS methods. All complexes were found to be active in ethylene polymerization with better performance of the vanadium cata…
Polymerization of ethylene by oxide-supported titanium halide catalyst: kinetic model with a deactivation of active species
2000
Abstract The effect of the calcination temperature of alumina, which was then used as a support for a titanium halide catalyst [TiCl4/Et2AlCl], on the catalyst activity in ethylene polymerization was investigated. α-Al2O3 was found to make a more advantageous catalyst support as compared to γ-Al2O3 despite the fact that the former offered a clearly lower specific surface area and its content of surface OH groups was inferior. The ethylene polymerization in the presence of the catalytic system on different alumina supports was investigated on the basis of a proposed kinetic model, taking into consideration the deactivation of active sites in the process. The improved activity was found to re…
Vanadium complex with tetradentate [O,N,N,O] ligand supported on magnesium type carrier for ethylene homopolymerization and copolymerization
2009
Immobilization of 1,2-cyclohexylenebis(5-chlorosalicylideneiminato)vanadium dichloride on the magnesium support obtained in the reaction of MgCl 2 .3.4EtOH with Et 2 AlCl gives a highly active precursor for ethylene homopolymerization and its copolymerization with 1-octene. This catalyst exhibits the highest activity in conjunction with MAO, but it is also highly active with AlMe 3 as a cocatalyst. On the other hand, when combined with chlorinated alkylaluminum compounds, Et 2 AlCl and EtAlCl 2 , it gives traces of polyethylene. Moreover, its catalytic activity is strongly affected by the reaction temperature: it increased with rising polymerization temperature from 20 °C to 60 °C, The kine…
Amino Functional Poly(ethylene glycol) Copolymers via Protected Amino Glycidol
2010
The synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) copolymers with multiple amino functionalities within the chain is described, relying on an epoxide comonomer bearing a protected amino group. N,N-dibenzyl amino glycidol (DBAG) and ethylene oxide (EO) were copolymerized via anionic polymerization, leading to well-defined polymers with varied comonomer content and low polydispersities (Mw/Mn in the range of 1.1 to 1.2). Subsequent hydrogenolysis with Pearlman’s catalyst afforded poly(ethylene glycol-co-amino glycerol)s (PEG-co-PAG) with a precisely adjusted number of randomly incorporated amino groups in the range of 2−15%. For the first time, the kinetics of an EO copolymerizations have has been…
Effective copolymerization of ethylene with α,ω-alkenols and homopolymerization of α,ω-alkenols catalyzed by aminophenolate zirconium complex
2019
Abstract A zirconium complex of diamine-bis(phenolate) ligand, [(tBu2O2NN’)ZrCl]2(μ-O) where (tBu2O2NN’) = Me2N(CH2)2N(CH2–2-O−-3,5-tBu2-C6H2)2, activated with (iBu)3Al/Ph3CB(C6F5)4, was for the first time used in copolymerization of ethylene with unsaturated alcohols (CH2 = CH(CH2)nCH2OH, where n = 7, 8, 3). The hydroxyl groups of comonomers were protected with R3-xAlClx (where x = 0 or 1, R = iBu, Et). In contrast to the formerly reported catalysts, the activity of this catalyst is much higher in ethylene/alkenols copolymerization than in ethylene homopolymerization and its lifetime is long. Moreover, the copolymers with high polar comonomer contents (up to 16.4 mol%, 52.3 wt%) were produ…
Organometallic vanadium‐based heterogeneous catalysts for ethylene polymerization. Study of the deactivation process
1998
Slurry polymerizations of ethylene over vanadium catalysts (based on VCl4 and VOCl3) and their MgCl2(THF)2-supported equivalents were studied. Unsupported vanadium catalysts were found to be unstable while the vanadium active sites deposited on the MgCl2(THF)2 complex are stable. A sharply outlined correlation was found between the concentration of vanadium(III) and catalyst productivity. The high activity and stability of the vanadium catalyst when supported on the magnesium complex is attributed to the increase of resistance to reduction of active vanadium(III) to inactive vanadium(II) by an organoaluminium co-catalyst.
“Functional Poly(ethylene glycol)”: PEG-Based Random Copolymers with 1,2-Diol Side Chains and Terminal Amino Functionality
2010
A series of poly(ethylene glycol-co-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether) (P(EO-co-IGG)) random copolymers with different fractions of 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG) units was synthesized. After acidic hydrolysis a new type of "functional PEGs", namely poly(ethylene glycol-co-glyceryl glycerol) (P(EO-co-GG)) was obtained. Using an initiator that releases a terminal amino moiety after deprotection, functional end groups with orthogonal reactivity to the in-chain groups were obtained. All polymers showed narrow molecular weight distributions (1.07-1.19), and control of the molecular weights was achieved in the range 5000-30 000 g/mol. Random incorporation of both comonomer…
Preparation of titanocene and zirconocene dichlorides bearing bulky 1,4-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylcyclopentadienyl ligand and their behavior in polymeriza…
2009
Abstract New metallocene dichlorides [η 5 -(1,4-Me 2 -2,3-Ph 2 -C 5 H) 2 TiCl 2 ] ( 2 ), [η 5 -(1,4-Me 2 -2,3-Ph 2 -C 5 H) 2 ZrCl 2 ] ( 3 ) and [η 5 -(1,4-Me 2 -2,3-Ph 2 -C 5 H)η 5 -(C 5 H 5 )ZrCl 2 ] ( 4 ) were prepared from lithium salt of 1,4-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylcyclopentadiene ( 1 ) and [TiCl 3 (THF) 3 ], [ZrCl 4 ] and [η 5 -(C 5 H 5 )ZrCl 3 (DME)], respectively. Compounds 2–4 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, EI-MS and IR spectroscopy, and the solid state structure of 3 was determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The catalytic systems 3 /MAO and 4 /MAO were almost inactive in polymerization of ethylene at 30–50 °C, however, they exhibited high activity at temperature…
Ethylene polymerization catalysts based on nickel(II) 1,4-diazadiene complexes: the influence of the 1,4-diazadiene backbone substituents on structur…
1998
Abstract Thermally sensitive dialkyl nickel complexes {DAD(H,H)}Ni(CH2SiMe3)2 and {DAD(Me,Me)}Ni(CH2SiMe3)2 [DAD(X,X)=2,6-iPr2C6H4–NC(X)–C(X)N–C6H4iPr2-2,6] were synthesized and were characterized by X-ray diffraction studies on single crystals. The substituents X on the backbone of the α-diimine ligand significantly influence the conformation of the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituents. This effect is thought to be of crucial importance for the polymerization of ethylene when {DAD(X,X)}NiBr2/MAO is used as catalyst. The influence of the catalyst structure, pressure, and temperature on the polymerization activity, molar mass, glass transition temperature, melting temperature and branching o…
