Styrene is polymerized isospecifically by group 4 metal complexes that contain a C2-symmetrically coordinated 1,4-dithiabutane-linked bis(phenolato) ligand activated by methylaluminoxane.
Titanium Complexes with a Linked Amido−Cyclopentadienyl Ligand and a Bidentate Organyl Group: Synthesis, Structure, and Ethene Polymerization Activity
1998
Titanium complexes containing a linked isopropyl- or benzylamido(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) ligand C5Me4SiMe2NR (R = iPr, CH2Ph,) and one bidentate organyl group C6H4(CH2NMe2)-2, CH2C6H4(NMe2)-2, and {η5-C5H3(CH2NMe2)-2}Fe(η5-C5H5) were prepared by salt metathesis of the corresponding dichloro complex Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NR)Cl2 with the lithium organyl. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)- {C6H4(CH2NMe2)-2}Cl and of Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NiPr){CH2C6H4(NMe2)-2}Cl revealed the presence of intramolecular coordination with square pyramidal geometry around titanium. In the ferrocenyl derivative Ti(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2Ph)[{η5-C5H3(CH2NMe2)-2}Fe(η5-C5H5)]Cl the NMe…
Achieving branched polyethylene waxes by aryliminocycloocta[b]pyridylnickel precatalysts: Synthesis, characterization, and ethylene polymerization
2017
Cycloocta[b]pyridin-10-one was prepared to form the corresponding imino derivatives, which then reacted with (DME)NiBr2 to form 10-aryliminocycloocta[b]pyridylnickel bromides (Ni1–Ni5). The new compounds were characterized by means of FT-IR spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis and the organic ligands were also analyzed by the NMR measurements. Furthermore, the molecular structure of a representative complex Ni3 was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction, indicating the distorted tetrahedral geometry around the nickel atom. Upon the activation with either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or diethylaluminium chloride (Et2AlCl), the title nickel complexes exhibited high activity in et…
Linked cyclopentadienyl-amido titanium catalysts supported on pyridylethylsilane-modified silica for heterogeneous ethylene homo- and copolymerization
2003
Abstract Linked cyclopentadienyl-amido titanium dimethyl and dichloro complexes, Ti(η 5 :η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 N t Bu)X 2 (X=Me, Cl), were reacted with trityl tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (TB), Ph 3 C + [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − , and methylaluminoxane (MAO), followed by treatment with toluene suspension of pyridylethylsilane-modified silica, to give two new supported-type titanium catalysts, PySTiTB and PySTiMAO. PySTiTB polymerized ethylene in the presence of triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) in hexane at 60 °C and 5 bar with slightly higher activity than the corresponding homogeneous system under the same conditions. PySTiMAO showed relatively high activity even without any use of alkylaluminum co…
Titanium complexes having chelating diaryloxo ligands bridged by tellurium and their catalytic behavior in the polymerization of ethylene
2000
A series of titanium complexes having tellurium-bridged chelating bis(aryloxo) ligands, [TiX2{2,2‘-Te(4-R-6-R‘-C6H2O)2}]2 (5b, X = Cl, R = Me, R‘ = tBu; 6a, X = OiPr, R = R‘ = H; 6b, X = OiPr, R = Me, R‘ = tBu), were prepared. 5b and 6b were determined by X-ray crystallography to have chloro- and isopropoxo-bridged dimeric structures. The structural data for these complexes indicated that the Ti−Te coordination bonds were stronger than the similar Ti−S coordination bonds in the corresponding sulfur-bridged complexes. The reaction of (C5R5)TiCl3 (R = H, Me) with 2,2‘-Te(4-R-6-R‘-C6H2OLi)2 gave monocyclopentadienyl derivatives, (C5R5)TiCl{2,2‘-Te(4-Me-6-tBu-C6H2O)2} (7, R = H; 8, R = Me). The…
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…
Ethylene polymerization by the thermally unique 1-[2-(bis(4-fluoro phenyl)methyl)-4,6- dimethylphenylimino]-2-aryliminoacenaphthylnickel precursors
2015
A series of 1-[2-(bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)-4,6-dimethylphenylimino]-2-aryliminoacenaphthylene derivatives together with the corresponding nickel bromide complexes was synthesized and characterized. Representative complexes C2 and C5 were characterized by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Upon activation with either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or ethylaluminum sesquichloride (EASC), all nickel complexes exhibited high activities towards ethylene polymerization, producing polyethylene with a relatively low degree of branching and narrow polydispersity. Complex C1 maintained good activity at elevated reaction temperatures, which indicates significa…
Titanium and zirconium complexes that contain a tridentate bis(phenolato) ligand of the [OOO]-type
2003
Abstract The oxygen-linked bis(phenol) 2-oxapropanediyl-1,3-bis(2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol), [OOO]H2, was prepared in good yield by the condensation of 2-tert-butyl-6-hydroxymethyl-4-methylphenol at 155 °C. This bis(phenol) reacted cleanly with titanium tetrachloride to give the orange titanium dichloro complex [OOO]TiCl2 in virtually quantitative yield. The solubility in pentane indicates a monomeric structure for [OOO]TiCl2 in solution. The reaction of titanium tetra(isopropoxide) gave the di(isopropoxy) complex [OOO]Ti(OiPr)2 which also adopts a monomeric structure of C2v-symmetry in solution. The reaction of the dichloro complex [OOO]TiCl2 with benzyl Grignard reagent in diethyl ether …

2009
Abstract Li 2 [1,2-C 6 H 4 (NCH 2 t Bu) 2 ] reacts with one equiv of [TiCl 4 (THF) 2 ] in refluxing toluene to give the chelate compound [Ti{1,2-C 6 H 4 (NCH 2 t Bu) 2 }Cl 2 (THF)] ( 1 ), isolated as a black product, while the reaction of the dilithio diamido salt with one equiv of [ZrCl 4 (THF) 2 ] in refluxing toluene affords the dinuclear zirconium derivative [Zr{1,2-C 6 H 4 (NCH 2 t Bu) 2 }Cl(THF)(μ-Cl)] 2 ( 2 ), obtained as an orange solid. Treatment of the dilithio diamido salt with TaCl 5 in a 2:1 molar ratio in toluene yields [Ta{1,2-C 6 H 4 (NCH 2 t Bu) 2 } 2 Cl] ( 3 ) as a red product. The reaction of 1,2-C 6 H 4 (NHCH 2 t Bu) 2 with [Zr(NMe 2 ) 4 ] in toluene at room temperature …
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…
