Some New exo,exo-Bis(isodicyclopentadienyl)titanium and -zirconium Dichloride Derivatives: Synthesis, Characterization, and Evaluation as Propene Polymerization Catalysts
摘要:
Exo,exo derivatives of the efficient catalyst precursors (diisodicyclopentadienyl)titanium and -zirconium dichloride substituted at the central position have been synthesized. These compounds have been characterized by solution NMR measurements, which also permitted the calculation of rotational barriers. The solid-state structures of exo,exo-bis(3-diphenylphosphinoisodicyclopentadienyl)titanium and -zirconium dichloride were determined by X-ray crystallography. Unfortunately, after activation by methylalumoxane, these complexes are shown to serve as poor catalysts for the polymerization of propene.
