A series of novel dendritic salicylaldimine ligands and their corresponding iron complexes have been synthesized using 1.0 generation (1.0 G) dendritic macromolecules, salicylaldehyde and FeCl2 4H(2)O as raw materials. The structures of the ligands and iron complexes were characterized by FT-IR, H-1 NMR, UV, ESI-MS, and elemental analysis. The dendritic salicylaldimine iron complexes presented moderate catalytic activity in ethylene oligomerization and selectivity for higher carbon number olefins products (C-8) when they were activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO). The catalytic activity and product selectivity were related to the co-catalyst, solvent, bridged group length and reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, Al/Fe molar ratio and ethylene pressure. The complex C3 showed the highest catalytic activity (up to 13.75 x 10(4) g (mol Fe h)(-1)) and the selectivity of higher carbon number olefins (35.31%) at the optimized conditions. Moreover, the catalytic properties of dendritic salicylaldimine iron complex C3 was better than non-dendritic iron complex.
