The present application provides a catalyst component for alkene polymerization. The catalyst component contains: (a) a group 4 transition metal or rare earth metal, (b) a rigid non-cyclopentadienyl ligand with a tricyclic backbone composed of three ortho-fused 6-membered rings in a linear arrangement (as is the case in xanthene), with or without additional fused rings; the tricyclic backbone contains at least one donor atom within the central ring (as is the case for xanthene, oxanthrene, or acridan); furthermore, donor atoms/groups or aryl rings are attached directly (i.e. via the donor atom in the case of donor groups) to both of the bondable carbon atoms adjacent to at least one of the donor atoms within the central ring (e.g. xanthene with two donor groups, or two aryl rings, or one donor group and one aryl ring adjacent to oxygen), and (c) two or more activatable ligands, such as chloro, alkyl, aryl, allyl or hydride ligands, attached to the central metal if the complex is neutral or anionic, or one or more activatable ligand if the complex is monocationic or dicationic. The rigid non-cyclopentadienyl ligand has a charge of 0, 1- or 2- (considering all donor atoms of the ligand to have an octet of valence electrons). The catalyst component is optionally combined with an activator, typically for the purpose of generating a highly active monocationic or dicationic polymerization catalyst, and the catalyst and/or catalyst components may be in solution, precipitated from solution, or optionally carried on a support.
本申请提供了一种用于烯烃聚合的催化剂组分。催化剂组分包含(a) 第 4 族过渡金属或稀土金属,(b) 具有三环骨架的刚性非环戊二烯配体,三环骨架由三个呈线性排列的正交融合 6 元环组成(如呫吨),可有或无附加的融合环;三环骨架的中心环内至少含有一个供体原子(如氧杂蒽、氧杂蒽或吖啶);此外,供体原子/基团或芳基环是直接连接的(即:......)。e.此外,供体原子/基团或芳基环直接(即在供体基团的情况下通过供体原子)连接到与中心环内至少一个供体原子相邻的两个可键合碳原子上(如(c) 两个或多个可活化配体,如氯、烷基、芳基、烯丙基或氢化物配体,如果络合物为中性或阴离子络合物,则连接到中心金属上;如果络合物为一价或二价络合物,则连接到一个或多个可活化配体上。刚性非环戊二烯配体的电荷量为 0、1- 或 2-(考虑到配体的所有供体原子都具有八价电子)。催化剂组分可选择性地与活化剂结合,通常是为了生成高活性的一元或二元聚合催化剂,催化剂和/或催化剂组分可以是溶液、从溶液中析出或可选择性地载于载体上。
