Investigations into the Mechanism of Activation and Initiation of Ethylene Polymerization by Bis(imino)pyridine Cobalt Catalysts: Synthesis, Structures, and Deuterium Labeling Studies
摘要:
The activation of bis(imino)pyridine cobalt(II) precatalysts by MAO leads initially to a bis(imino)pyridine cobalt(I) cationic species with no cobalt-C(alkyl) bond into which insertion can occur. Mechanistic studies have shown that the initiation of polymerization from this species involves incorporation of alkyl groups from the cocatalyst, most likely involving attack of methide anion (from the counteranion) on a cobalt-ethylene species.

Bis(imino)pyridine cobalt(I) alkyl complexes react with 1-alkenes by β-hydrogen transfer, providing a model reaction for the study of a commonly encountered chain transfer process in polymerization and oligomerization catalysis. The influence of steric effects on reaction rates is described. The theoretical models largely agree with the experimentally determined structures, provide a more detailed

The activation of bis(imino)pyridine cobalt-based catalysts of ethylene polymerization with methylalumoxane (MAO), AlMe3, and AlMe3/[CPh3][B(C6F5)(4)] has been studied by H-1, H-2, and F-19 NMR and EPR spectroscopy. The nature of the active sites of polymerization is discussed. The polymerization kinetics and the polymer properties for the different catalyst/activator systems were correlated with spectroscopic data.

The development and implementation of transition-metal-based precatalysts have played crucial roles in modern organic synthesis. However, while the use of such species greatly improves sustainability, their preparative routes often rely on multiple time-, energy-, and solvent-intensive steps. By leveraging solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis through vibratory ball milling, we report the one-pot, one-step synthesis of a range of first-row transition-metal bis(imino)pyridine complexes, where both the ligand and coordination complex are assembled in situ. Bis(imino)pyridine complexes of the first-row transition metals have an extensive history of application as precatalysts for numerous bond-forming transformations. The method reported herein facilitates access to such species in a time-, solvent-, and space-saving manner which can easily be adapted to any laboratory setting regardless of prior experience with coordination complex synthesis.
