摘要:
Fluorofluorenes [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octafluoro-9-(pentafluorophenyl)-9H-fluorene (OFPF), 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octafluoro-9-(2,4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-9H-fluorene (OFTF), and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octafluorofluorene (OFF)] react with sodium hydride or with lithium alkyls to give fluorofluorenyl anions which have been characterized in solution by F-19 NMR spectroscopy. OFPF is deprotonated by ethylenediamine, by HMPT and by 1,7-diazo-bicyclo(5,4)-undec-7-ene (DBU), as shown by H-1 and F-19 NMR spectrometry. The new compound [rac-ethylene-bis(eta(5)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindenyl)]diallylzirconium (IV) (ZRAL), as prepared from [rac-ethylene-bis( (eta(5) -4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindenyl)]dichloridezirconium(IV) and allylmagnesium chloride, undergoes allyl abstraction with OFPF, CPh3[B(C6F5)(4)], and B(C6F5)(3) forming zirconium-containing cations, as established by H-1 and F-19 NMR spectrometry. Toluene/ pentafluoroanisole solutions of the fluorinated anions, in combination with ZRAL, catalyze the polymerization of ethylene, with an activity comparable to that of MAO or CPh3[B(C6F5)(4)], a remarkable increase of activity being observed with the ZRAL/OFPF system.
