摘要:
The syntheses of ketimide titanium complexes of the type Ti(N=C'Bu-2)(3)X (X = Cl, CP, Ind), Ti(N=C'Bu-2)(4) and the zirconium complex CpZr(N=C'Bu-2)(2)Cl are described. When activated by MAO, all compounds are ethylene polymerisation catalysts. In the conditions studied, the most active catalyst is CpZr(N=C'Bu-2)(2)Cl, with an activity of 2.7 x 10(5) kg/(molZr [E] h). Titanium complexes are less active by about two orders of magnitude. The polyethylene produced is linear, as determined by NMR spectroscopy. Molecular structures of Ti(N=C'Bu-2)(3)X (X = Cl, Cp, Ind) and Ti(N=C'Bu-2)(4) were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
