2-β-Benzothiazolyl-6-iminopyridylmetal dichlorides and the catalytic behavior towards ethylene oligomerization and polymerization
摘要:
A series of 2-(2-benzothiazolyl)-6-(1-(arylimino)ethyl)pyridines and their metal (Fe or Co) complexes were prepared. All organic compounds were fully characterized by NMR, FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis, and all metal complexes were identified by FT-IR spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of representative metal complexes were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and displayed the distorted trigonal bipyramid geometry. Upon activation with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), the iron pro-catalysts showed good catalytic activities up to the range of 10(7) g mol(-1)(Fe) h(-1) in ethylene reactivity with the high selectivity for the vinyl-type products of both oligomers and polyethylene waxes; whereas the cobalt pro-catalysts showed moderate activities towards ethylene oligomerization. The correlations between metal complexes and their catalytic activities and products were investigated in detail under various reaction parameters and discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B. V.
