Reaction of anhydrous YbCl3 with 1 equiv, of LLi [L=p-ClPhNC(Me)CH(Me)N(C6H3-2,6-i-Pr2)] in THF at room temperature gave the β-diketiminate lanthanide dichloride LYbCl2(THF)2 (1) in good isolated yield. Similarly reaction of anhydrous YbCl3 with 1 equiv, of LLi, then with 1 equiv, of t-BuCpNa in THF yielded the expected mixed-ligand β-diketiminate ytterbium chloride (t-BuCp)YbL(μ-Cl)2Li(THF)2 (2). Both 1 and 2 were well characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, ^1H NMR spectra, and X-ray diffraction analysis.

A series of neutral bimetallic lanthanide aryloxides p-C6H4[OLnL(THF)n]2 [Ln = Y(1), Yb(2), Sm(3)(n = 1) and La(4)(n = 2), L = Me2NCH2CH2N{CH2-(2-O–C6H2–tBu2-3,5)}2] and alkoxides p-C6H4CH2[OLnL(THF)]2 [Ln = Y(5), Yb(6)] supported by an amine-bridged bis(phenolate) ligand have been synthesized through one-pot reactions of Ln(C5H5)3(THF), LH2 with p-benzenediol and 1,4-benzenedimethanol, respectively. All complexes have been fully characterized by elemental analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and IR and multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy(in the cases of 1, 4 and 5). Study of their catalytic behavior revealed that, in general, all complexes are efficient initiators for the polymerization of rac-lactide(LA) and rac-β-butyrolactone(BBL), except for 3 and 4 in the case of BBL. The influence imposed by lanthanides of different ionic radii and initiating groups of different structures on the activity, controllability, and stereoselectivity of polymerization were systematically studied and compared. Highly heterotactic PLA(Pr up to 0.99) and syndiotactic PHB(Pr ≈ 0.81) with high molecular weight and narrow polydispersity formed and were automatically capped with hydroxyl functionality at both ends.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Organoboryl Germanium (Ⅱ) Oxides Containing Ge-O-B and Ge-O-B-O-Ge Cores

Organoboryl germanium(Ⅱ) oxides were synthesized from the 1,4-addition reaction of L'Ge(L'=HC[C(CH_2)N(Ar)]C(Me)N(Ar),Ar=2,6-iPr_2C_6H_3) with selected monosubstituted arylboronic acids RB(OH)_2(R=2,6-Me_2C_6H_3,2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2,1-Naph) at the molar ratios of 1:1 and 2:1.The mononuclear products RB(OH)OGeL(L=CH[C(Me)N(Ar)]_2,Ar=2,6-iPr_2C_6H_3;R=2,6-Me_2C_6H_3(1),2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2(2),1-Naph(3)) containing the Ge-O-B core were obtained smoothly through the 1:1 reaction.However,the reaction of L'Ge with 2,6-Me_2C_6H_3B(OH)_2 in a 2:1 ratio gave only the mononuclear product(1) instead of the expected binuclear one.What's more,a new borate compound [(2,6-Me_2C_6H_3)_4B_5O_6]~-[H:C]~+(4)(:C=C[N(iPr)C(Me)]_2) was concomitantly formed when the in situ prepared L'Ge was used as the precursor.In contrast,the use of 2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2B(OH)_2 or1-NaphB(OH)_2 as the organoboryl source in the similar reaction led to the formation and isolation of the binuclear products RB(OGeL)2(R=2,4,6-Me_3C_6H_2(5),1-Naph(6)) containing the Ge-O-B-O-Ge core in a straight way.Compounds 1~6 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Efficient Addition Polymerization of Norbornene with Polar Norbornene Derivatives by Neutral Nickel(Ⅱ) Catalysts

A series of nickel complexes {4 a: [(2,6-iPr_2C_6H_3)N=CHC_(16)H_(12)O]Ni(Me)(Py), 4b: [(2,6-iPr_2C_6H_2OCH_3)N=CHC_(16)H_(12)O]-Ni(Me)(Py), 4 c: [(2,6-iPr_2C_6H_2Cl)N=CHC_(16)H_(12)O]Ni(Me)(Py), and 4d: [(2,6-iPr2C6H2CF3)N=CHC_(16)H_(12)O]Ni(Me)(Py)} based on β-ketiminato ligands bearing various electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents on the para-position of the aniline group were synthesized and unambiguously characterized. The X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that complexes 4 b and 4 d adopted a nearsquare-planar geometry, and the anilines bearing a para-OMe or ―CF_3 group were found to situate on the axial position of the metal center. All complexes exhibited high activities up to 1.25 × 10~7–1.35 × 10~7 g PNB·mol_(Ni)~(–1)·h~(–1) toward norbornene(NBE) addition polymerization(conversion 91.2% in 2 min) under low loading of B(C_6F_5)_3(B/Ni = 3) at 30 °C, affording polymers with high molecular weight up to 2.54 × 10~6–3.18 × 10~6. Different levels of decrease in catalytic activities could be observed for all catalysts as the reaction temperature increased; 4 d bearing a strong electron-withdrawing ―CF_3 group showed the highest activity at 70 °C, while others exhibited notable decrease in catalytic activity with the raise in reaction temperature. Complexes 4 a–4 d showed remarkable tolerance to polar groups and could efficiently promote the copolymerization of NBE with its polar derivatives, including NBE bearing small acetate and hydroxyl group, as well as bulky oligomers, yielding copolymers with high functional NBE incorporations. Novel NBE copolymers with high functional comonomer incorporations and improved solubility were obtained in high yields.

Cleavage of the Fe—Fe Bond of （Me2SiSiMe2） [η^5－C5H4Fe（CO）2]2 with Na／Hg and Molecular Structure of the Ring－Opened Complex

The reaction of the rifle cyclic complex (1) with sodium amalgam in THF resulted in the expected cleavage of the Fe-Fe bond to afford his-sodium salt ( Me2SiSiMe2 ) [η^5-C5H4Fe(CO)2]2 (4). The latter was not isolated and was used directly to react with MeI, PhCH2Cl, CH3C(O)Cl, PhC(O)Cl,Cy3SnCl (Cy= cyclohexyl) or Ph3SnCl to afford corresponding ring-opened derivatives (Me2SiSiMe2) [η^5-C5H4Fe(CO)2]2 [5, R=Me; 6, R=PhCH2; 7, R=CH3C(O); 8, R=PhC(O); 9, R = Cy3Sn or 10, R = Ph3Sn ]. The crystal and molecular structures of 10 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecule took the desired ant/ conformation around the Si-Si bond. The length of the Si--Si bond is 0.2343(3)nm, which is essentially identical to that in the cyclic structure of 1[0.2346(4) tun]. This result unambiguously demonstrates that the Si--Si bond in the cyclic structure of 1 is not subject to obvious strain.     

Ethylene polymerization with novel phenoxy-imine catalysts bearing 4-vinylphenyl group

This contribution reports ethylene polymerization behavior of titanium complexes incorporating bis(phenoxyimine) ligands. Six phenoxy-imine Ti(IV) complexes {6-R1-2-[CH=N(2,6-difluoro-3,5-diR2-4-R3Ph)]C6H3O}2TiCl2(1: R1 = H, R2 = H, R3 = H; 2: R1 = H, R2 = H, R3 = 4-vinylphenyl; 3: R1 = CH3, R2 = H, R3 = H; 4: R1 = CH3, R2 = H, R3 = 4-vinylphenyl; 5: R1 = CH3, R2 = F, R3 = H; 6: R1 = CH3, R2 = F, R3 = 4-vinylphenyl) have been synthesized and evaluated for ethylene polymerization using dried MAO(simplified as DMAO) as cocatalyst. An obvious catalytic heterogeneity of Cat 2(Complex 2/DMAO) towards ethylene polymerization was observed, which was illustrated by decreased activity, multimodal molecular weight distribution and partially improved particle morphology comparing with Cat 1. Moreover, Cat 3 exhibits "living" characteristics in the process under certain conditions(25 °C, less than 20 min). Otherwise, the moderate to high ethylene polymerization activity of ca. 105-106 g PE/(mol Ti·h) and high molecular weight(Mw = 105-106) of polyethylene can be obtained by changing the skeleton structure of these complexes.     

Mononuclear and Dinuclear Yttrium Complexes Supported by Pyrrolide Ligands: Syntheses,Structures and Catalytic Behaviors towards the Ring-opening Polymerization of ε-Caprolactone

The syntheses, structures and catalytic activities of two yttrium complexes supported by pyrrolide ligands are reported. Treatment of Y(N(Si Me3)2)3 with one equivalent of H3bptd(H3bptd = 1,9-bis(2-pyrrolyl)-2,5,8-triazanona-1,8-diene) in THF gave a complex of composition [Y(bptd)(THF)]2(1). Reaction of Y(N(Si Me3)2)3 with one equivalent of H3tpa(H3tpa = tris(pyrrolyl-?-methyl)amine) in THF generated [Y(tpa)(THF)3](2) in good yield. Complexes 1and 2 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses and NMR spectroscopy. Complex 1 is dinuclear. The two metal centers are doubly bridged by two amine nitrogen atoms to form a Y–N–Y–N four-membered rhombus ring. The geometries of Y3+ ions in 1and 2 are well described as pentagonal bipyramid and capped octahedron, respectively. The ring-opening polymerization reactions of ?-caprolactone initiated by 1 and 2, respectively, were investigated. They both exhibited good catalytic activity for the polymerization of ?-caprolactone. All of the obtained polymers have high molecular weights and relatively narrower PDIs. The polymers generated by 2 possessed polydispersity close to 1.1. The good catalytic activities of 1 and 2 reveal their potential applications in polymer industry.

The present paper covers syntheses and crystal structures of benzyl- and cy-clopentyl-cyclopentadienyl sodium tetrahydrofuranate complexes C6H5CH2C5H4Na·THF (1) and C5H9C5H4Na°THF (2). X-ray diffraction data of the title compounds were collected at a low temperature (about 210K). Structures of both the crystals belong to monoclinic space group P21/n with α=0. 9316(3) nm, b=1. 5161(4) nm, c= 0.9791(3) nm, β=91. 06(3)°Z=4 for (1) and α=1. 6120(7) nm, b=0. 9370(3) nm, c=1. 8475(7) nm, β=109.52(3)°Z = 8 for (2). Both structures were solved by using direct methods and refined by block-matrix least-squares to final values of R = 0. 044 for 520 observed reflections (1) and R = 0. 067 for 921 observed reflections (2). In the crystals the tetrahydrofuranate complexes C6H5CH2C5H4Na·THF and C5H9C5H4Na·THF adopt a puckered chain structure with η5-(C6H5CH2)C5H4 and η5-(C5H9)C5H4 rings connected by a bridge Na (THF) unit.

The copolymerizations of ethylene with 10-undecen-1-ol have been investigated using vanadium precatalysts, bis(imino)pyrrolyl vanadium(III) complexes 1-3, 2,5-C4H2N(CH=NR)2VCl2(THF)2 [R = C6H5(1), 2,6-iPr2C6H3(2), C6F5(3)], and the iminopyrrolyl and β-diketiminate ones for comparison. The polar monomer was pretreated by diethylaluminium chloride(present also as the cocatalyst) before the copolymerization. The monomer reactivity ratios were evaluated using the Fineman-Ross method. The ligand structure considerably influenced the catalytic activity and tolerance towards the polar monomer, the polar monomer incorporation and the molecular weights of the resultant copolymers.

Anionic polymerization of fluorine-substituted phenyl methacrylates

Synthesis and anionic polymerization of the fluorine-substituted phenyl methacrylates are herein reported.A series of mono-,di-,and multi-substituted fluorophenyl methacrylates H2C=C(CH3)C(O)OC6H4F-4(M1a),H2C=C(CH3)C(O)OC6H4F-3(M1b),H2C=C(CH3)C(O)OC6H3F2-2,4(M2),H2C=C(CH3)C(O)OC6H2F3-2,3,4(M3),H2C=C(CH3)C(O)OC6HF4-2,3,5,6(M4),and H2C=C(CH3)C(O)OC6F5(M5)were synthesized and characterized.Initially,the polymerization was carried out on the monomer M1a by using n Bu Li,t Bu Li,and KH as the respective catalysts;this approach produced the polymers in yields of12%–50%,but with lower molecular weights.Similar results were obtained by using t Bu Li for catalytically polymerizing the other five monomers.By introducing a co-catalyst Me Al(BHT)2,the catalysts Na H,Li H,and t Bu OLi each were tested to polymerize M1a,which gave the polymers in very low yields(3%–7%).Polymer yields of 13%–27%were obtained by each of the catalysts Li Al H4,n Bu Li,Ph Li,and t Bu Li in connection with Me Al(BHT)2,but a better yield(61%)was achieved with KH/Me Al(BHT)2.The KH/Me Al(BHT)2 catalyst system was further employed to polymerize M1b and M2,which afforded respective polymer yields of 12%–63%and 10%–53%,depending on the molar ratios of KH:Me Al(BHT)2 as well as on the monomer concentrations.All of the polymers produced were syndiotactically rich in structure,as indicated by either 1H or 19F NMR data.The polymerization mechanism by the combined catalyst system is proposed.
