Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of [Me2Si(C5Me2H2)(tBuN)]MCl2 (M=Ti, Zr) bearing a 3,4-dimethylcyclopentadienyl ring: Investigation of the substitution effect on the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ring for catalytic performance in ethylene/1-octene (co)polymerization
摘要:
Dimethylsilylene bridged 3,4-dimethylcyclopentadienyl/amido titanium and zirconium complexes, namely [Me2Si(C5Me2H2)((BuN)-Bu-t)]MCl2 (M = Ti, Zr), were synthesized by the reactions of the dilithium salt of the ligand with the corresponding inexpensive metal precursors TiCl4(THF)(2) and ZrCl4, respectively. These complexes were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, the obtained complexes exhibited high catalytic activities in the polymerization of ethylene and copolymerization of ethylene/1-octene, and afforded PE and poly(ethylene-co-1-octene)s with high molecular weights. Especially, the dimethyl-Cp substituted constrained geometry complex (CGC), [Me2Si(C5Me2H2)((BuN)-Bu-t)]TiCl2 exhibited a higher incorporation ratio of 1-octene at 80 degrees C compared to the tetramethyl-Cp substituted CGC, [Me2Si(C5Me4)((BuN)-Bu-t)]TiCl2 , which was judged by the density and C-13 NMR analysis of the obtained copolymer. This is presumably due to the steric and electronic effects of the two vicinal methyl groups in [Me2Si(C5Me2H2)((BuN)-Bu-t)]MCl2 during the (co)polymerization and specifically, no agostic interactions available in the propagation and termination steps of the (co)polymerization.

Provided is a homogeneous catalytic system for use in preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin, and more particularly a Group 4 transition metal compound in which a cyclopentadienyl derivative 3,4-positions of which are substituted with alkyls and an electron-donating substituent are crosslinked around a Group 4 transition metal. Also provided is a method of preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin, having high molecular weight, under high-temperature solution polymerization conditions using the catalytic system including such a transition metal compound and a co-catalyst composed of an aluminum compound, a boron compound or a mixture thereof. The catalyst according to present invention has high thermal stability and enables the incorporation of α-olefin, and is thus effective in preparing an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin, having various properties, in industrial polymerization processes.

It is shown that the cyclopentadienide anion can undergo an electrophilic substitution. In methylation reactions it was possible to stop the reaction at the intermediate 5-substituted cyclopentadiene stage. In the methylcyclopentadienide anion, the methyl group directs an electrophile to the adjacent carbon atom.

cyclopentadienyl- and imidazolyl-phosphine-containing Ru-based complexes bearing a different degree of the Cp-ring methylation has been attempted. According to experimental and structural data the steric factors prevented the formation of the last complex in the series that contains permethylated Cp ring. These complexes were then subjected to alkene isomerization using 1-hexene. The rate of isomerization
