摘要:
The syntheses of the doubly-[SiMe2]-bridged zirconocene complexes, (Me2Si)(2){eta(5)-C5H2-4-CHMe2}{eta(5)-C5H-3,5-(CHMe2)(2)}ZrR2 (R = Cl (2), R = CH2Ph (3); R = CH3 (4)) are described. The structure of (Me2Si)(2){eta(5)-C5H2-4-CHMe2}{eta(5)C(5)H-3,5-(CHMe2)(2)}-Zr(CH2Ph)(2) (3) has been examined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-l, with a=9.900(2), b=11.818(2), c=15.320(3) Angstrom, alpha=105.02(3), beta=92.56(3), gamma=105.23(3)degrees and Z=2. Compounds 3 and 4 are active stereospecific pre-catalysts for the [Ph3C] [B(C6F5)(4)] co-catalyzedpolymrrization of I-pentene. Polymerization reactions at low temperature in liquid monomer produced poly(l-pentene) with syndiotactic microstructure and narrow molecular weight distribution. By contrast, in 1-pentene/toluene solutions a broad molecular weight distribution is observed. Under all conditions examined 2/MAO systems produced high molecular weight, highly syndiotactic poly-1-pentene with narrow molecular weight distributions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
