Alkyne-functionalized metallocene complexes: Synthesis, structure, and catalytic ethylene polymerization
摘要:
Reactions of phenylethynyl lithium with substituted cyclopentenones gave the corresponding pendant phenylethynyl substituted cyclopentadienes. Subsequent deprotonation and transmetallation with TiCl4 center dot 2THF, ZrCl4, and Cp*ZrCl3 yielded the alkyne-functionalized metallocene complexes [C5Me4(C=CPh)](2)MCl2 [M = Ti (1), Zr (2)], Cp*[C5Me4(C=CPh)]ZrCl2 (3), and Cp*[C5H2R'(2)(C=CPh)]ZrCl2 [R' = Me (4), Ph (5)]. These complexes were fully characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, MS spectra, and elemental analysis. The molecular structure of 2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Ethylene polymerization was studied with these complexes in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
