Specific features of ethylene polymerization using a new group of catalytic systems based on ten methylalumoxane-activated titanium halide salicylaldiminato complexes functionalized with omega-vinylalkoxy groups and containing tert-butyl substituents in the phenoxide moiety were studied. The catalytic activity of the new group of activated complexes is strongly affected by the position of the omega-vinylalkoxy functional group and by the number and position of substituents in the phenoxide moiety. These factors determine the ratio of the homogeneous and heterogeneous steps of the polymerization as a result of the catalyst self-immobilization onto the polymer formed, and also the molecular characteristics of the polymer obtained at 20, 40, and 60 degrees C and ethylene pressure of 0.4 MPa. The possibility and conditions of preparing ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene with improved morphology were revealed.
