Ethylene polymerization catalyzed by substituted pyrazole nickel complexes
摘要:
(Pyrazole)nickel dibromide complexes, (3,5-Me(2)pz)(2)NiBr2 (1), (3-Mepz)(4)NiBr2 (2), (pz)(4)NiBr2 (3) and (3,5-'Bu(2)pz)(2)NiBr2 (4), were prepared by the reaction of the appropriate pyrazole with (DME)NiBr2. Solid-state structures of these complexes show a direct relation between the steric bulk of the pyrazole ligand and structure, with more bulky ligands forming four-coordinate complexes (1 and 4) whereas the less bulky ligands formed six-coordinate complexes (2 and 3). Activation of selected complexes (1 and 3) with methylaluminoxane (MAO) produced species that catalyzed the polymerization of ethylene to form high density polyethylene. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
