Selective Ethylene Oligomerization with Chromium Complexes Bearing Pyridine–Phosphine Ligands: Influence of Ligand Structure on Catalytic Behavior
摘要:
Chromium complexes bearing a series of pyridinephosphine ligands have been synthesized and examined for their catalytic behavior in ethylene oligomerization. The choice of solvent, toluene versus methylcyclohexane, shows a pronounced influence on the catalytic activity for all these complexes. Variations of the ligand system have been introduced by modifying the phosphine substituents affecting ligand bite angles and flexibility. It has been demonstrated that minor differences in the ligand structure can result in remarkable changes not only in catalytic activity but also in selectivity toward a-olefins versus polyethylene and distribution of oligomeric products. Ligand PyCH2N(Me)(PPr2)-Pr-i, in combination with CrCl3(THF)(3) afforded selective ethylene tri- and tetramerization, giving 1-hexene and 1-octene with good overall selectivity and high purity, albeit with the presence of small amounts of PE.

Fast (60 kHz) magic angle spinning solid-state NMR allows very sensitive proton detection in highly paramagnetic organometallic powders. We showcase this technique with the complete assignment of 1H and 13C resonances in a high-spin Fe(ii) polymerisation catalyst with less than 2 mg of sample at natural abundance.

The use of the dialkene divinyltetramethyldisiloxane (dvtms) allows easy access to the reactive 16-valence-electron complexes [Fe-0 (L-L(dvtms)] (L-L = dppe (1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ethane; 1), dppp (1,2-bis(diphenylphOsphino)-propane; 2), pyNMe:P('Pr)(2) (N-(diisopropylphosphino)-N-methylpyridin-2-amine; 4), dipe (1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane; 5)) and [Fe-0(L)(2)(dvtms)] (L = PMe3; 3) by a mild reductive route using AlEt2(OEt) as reducing agent. In contrast, by the "same methodology, the 18-valence-electron complexes [Fe-0(L-L)2(ethylene)] (L-L = dppin (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane; 6),.dppa (1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)amine; 7), dppe (8)) were obtained, Which do not contain dvtms. In addition, a combined DFT and solid-state paramagnetic NMR methodology is introduced for the structure determination of 5. A comparative study of the reactivity of 1, 2, 4-6, and 8 with 3-hexyne highlights emerging mechanistic implications for C C coupling reactions using these complexes as catalysts.
