The N,N'-(phenyl-2-pyridinylmethylene)-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine and its dimeric Co(Ⅱ)and Ni(Ⅱ) complexes were synthesized.The organic compound was characterized by elemental analyses,IR and NMR spectra,while the bimetal complexes were determined by elemental analyses,IR spectra as well as the single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The nickel complex showed high activity for ethylene polymerization and its cobalt analogue showed negligible active in ethylene activation.     

Dinuclear Nickel(Ⅱ) Chlorides Bearing N,N′-bis(5,6,7-trihydroquinolin-8-ylidene)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamines: Synthesis and Ethylene Polymerization

5,6,7-Trihydroquinolin-8-one was condensed with the corresponding benzidine to give N,N′-bis(5,6,7-trihydroquinolin-8-ylidene)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine derivatives(L1–L3). The ligands were reacted with two equivalents of Ni Cl_2·6H_2O in a mixture of Et OH and CH_2Cl_2 to afford the corresponding dinickel(II) chloride complexes(Ni1-Ni3). The organic compounds were completely characterized, whilst the bi-metallic complexes were characterized by FTIR spectra and elemental analysis. These nickel complexes exhibited high activities towards ethylene polymerization in the presence of either MAO or Me_2AlCl, maintaining a high activity over a prolonged period. The obtained polyethylenes were confirmed as having low molecular weights by GPC analysis.     

Dimerization of Propylene by Nickel (Ⅱ) and Cobalt (Ⅱ) Catalysts Based on Bidentate Nitrogen-phosphino Chelating Ligands

The catalytic property of propylene dimerization by several nickel (Ⅱ), cobalt (Ⅱ) complexes containing N-P bidentate ligands was studied in combination with organoaluminum co-catalysts. The effects of the type of aluminum co-catalysts and its relative amount, the nature of precursors in terms of ligand backbone and metal center were investigated. The results indicated that precursor I (N,N-dimethyl-2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline nickel (Ⅱ) dichloride) exhibited high activity in propylene dimerization in the presence of the strong Lewis acid Et3Al2Cl3, whereas low productivity by its cobalt analogues was observed under identical reaction conditions.

Synthesis, characterization and magnetism of binuclear cobalt (II) complexes bridged by tetracarboxylato groups

Three new binudear cobalt (II) complexes with extended te-tracarboxylato- bridge have been synthesized and characterized, namely [Co2 (PMTA) (bpy)4] (1), [Co2(PMTA)-(phen)4] (2) and [Co2(PMTA) (NO2phen)4] (3), where PMTA represents the tetraanion of pyroniellitic acid, and bpy, phen, NO2-phen denote 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenan-throline; 5-nirto-1, 10-plienanthroline, respectively. Based on elemental analyses, molar conductivity measurements, IR and electronic spectra studies, it is proposed that these complexes have PMTA-bridged structures and consist of two cobalt (II) ions, each in a distorted octahedral environment. These complexes were further characterized by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (4-300 K) and the observed data were successfully simulated by the equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, giving the exchange integral J = - 1.02 cm-1 for 1, J = -1.21 cm-1 for 2 and J = - 1.18 cm-1 for 3, respectively. These results revealed the operation of antiferromagneti     

Trichlorozirconium η~2-Hydrazonides: Synthesis,Characterization and Their Catalytic Behavior toward Ethylene Polymerization

The trichlorozirconium η~2-hydrazonides(R=H, A; R=CH_3, B) were synthesized through the finely controlled stoichiometrical reactions of anhydrous zirconium tetrachloride with the lithium salt of either 1-(furan-2-ylmethylene)-2-phenylhydrazonide or 1-(furan-2-ylethylidene)-2-phenyl hydrazonide in the solvent tetrahydrofuran(THF), respectively. These complexes were highly sensitive to air and moisture due to solely using less bulky ligand of hydrazonides. The molecular structures of the title complexes, determined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction, were found to be the distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometry around zirconium atom, with three chlorides and the hydrazonato ligand acting as the η~2-coordination mode as well as two incorporated THF molecules. Upon activation with either methylaluminoxane(MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane(MMAO), both complexes A and B exhibited catalytic activities toward ethylene polymerization, producing polyethylenes with ultra-high molecular weights.     

Role of Bismuth Oxide in Bi-MCo2O4（M=Co,Ni,Cu,Zn） Catalysts for Wet Air Oxidation of Acetic Acid

Two series of cobalt (Ⅲ)-containing spinel catalysts were prepared by the decomposition of the corre-sponding nitrates. The catalysts doped with bismuth oxide exhibit a higher activity in the wet air oxidation ofacetic acid than those without dopant bismuth oxide. The catalysts were investigated by XRD, TEM, ESR,UV-DRS and XPS, and the interaction between Co and Bi was studied as well. It has been found that nano-sized bismuth oxide is paved on the surface of cobalt spinel crystal and the structures of cobalt(Ⅲ)-containingspinel are still maintained. The shift of the binding energy of Bi4/7/2 is related to the catalytic activity of thesecatalysts doped with bismuth oxide.

Synthesis and Properties of u-Oxamido Heterobinuclear Cu(Ⅱ)-Co(Ⅱ) Complexes

Three heterobinuclear complexes were synthesized, namely [Cu (oxpn) Co (L)2] (ClO4)2·xH2O(L= 2,2'-bipyridyl(bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline(phen) , and 5-nitro-1, 10-phenanthroline (NO2-phen)), where oxpn represents N, N'-bis(3-aminopropyl) oxam-ido. Based on 1R, elemental analysis, conductivity measurement and electronic spectra, these complexes were characterized by an extended oxamido-bridged structure with Cu(Ⅱ) in a planar environment and Co(Ⅱ) in a octahedral environment. The symmetry of the cation is very close to C2v.The complexes were also characterized with variable temperature (4~300K) magnetic susceptibility, and the data were fit for the susceptibility equation derived from spin Hamilton, H= -2JS1.S2-DSx12 by least square strategy. The exchange integral, J, was found to be -22.36 cm-1 (for bpy);-15.45 cm-1 (for phen); -19. 10cm-1(for NO2-phen), indicating that there is a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the metal ions.     

Ethylene polymerization and ethylene/hexene copolymerizaion with vandium catalysts bearing thiophenolphosphine ligands

Vanadium(Ⅲ) complexes bearing thiophenol-phosphine ligands (2a-2b) (2-R-6-PPh2-C6H2S) VCl2(THF)2 (2a: R=H; 2b: R=Me3Si) were prepared from VCl3(THF)3 by treating with 1.0 equiv of the ligand in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of excess triethylamine. The two complexes were characterized by FTIR and mass spectra as well as elemental analyses. On activation with Et2AlCl, these complexes exhibited high catalytic activities (up to 22.1 kg PE/(mmolV·h·bar)) even at high temperature (70℃), and produced high molecular weight polymers with unimodal molecular weight distributions, indicating the polymerization took place in a single-site nature. This result may be attributed to benefits of introduction of second-row donor atoms for adjusting charge density of the vanadium centers. In addition, these complexes also exhibited high catalytic activities for ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization. Catalytic activity, comonomer incorporation and polymer molecular weight can be controlled in a wide range by the variation of catalyst structure and the reaction parameters such as Al/V molar ratio, comonomer feed concentration and polymerization reaction temperature.

All cobalt complexes,activated with either methylaluminoxane(MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane(MMAO), exhibited high activities towards ethylene polymerization, and produced polyethylenes with high molecular weight and highly linear feature as well as unimodal distribution.     

Double-pillared cobalt Pacman complexes: synthesis, structures and oxygen reduction catalysis

The syntheses and structures of binuclear cobalt complexes of a double-pillared cofacial Schiff-base pyrrole macrocycle (L) were determined and their activity as catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction evaluated. The new binuclear cobalt complex, [Co(2)(L)], 1 was formed in good yield using a salt-elimination method and was characterised as adopting a cofacial structure in solution by NMR spectroscopy and as its THF and pyridine solvates in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Using a variety of spectroscopic techniques, this complex was found to react reversibly with dioxygen to form a new paramagnetic complex. Furthermore, the new aqua-hydroxy double salt [Co(2)(μ-H(3)O(2))(py)(2)(L)][BF(4)] 2 was characterised by X-ray crystallography. In acidified benzonitrile solution, 1 behaves as a catalyst for the selective four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water and showed a large improvement in efficacy compared to its o-phenylene Schiff-base analogues.

Some Novel Cobalt Diphenylphosphine Complexes: Synthesis,Characterization, and Behavior in the Polymerization of 1,3-Butadiene

Some novel cobalt diphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized by reacting cobalt(II) chloride with (2-methoxyethyl)diphenylphosphine, (2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphine, and 2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-6-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained for the first two complexes, and their crystal structure was determined. The novel compounds were then used in association with methylaluminoxane (MAO) for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene, and their behavior was compared with that exhibited in the polymerization of the same monomer by the systems CoCl₂(PⁿPrPh₂)₂/MAO and CoCl₂(PPh₃)₂/MAO. Some significant differences were observed depending on the MAO/Co ratio used, and a plausible interpretation for such a different behavior is proposed.

Synthesis,characterization and 1,3‐butadiene polymerization behaviors of cobalt complexes bearing 2‐pyrazolyl‐substituted 1,10‐phenanthroline ligands

A series of cobalt(II) complexes containing tridentate 2‐pyrazolyl‐substituted 1,10‐phenanthroline ligands (L) with the general formula [LCoCl₂] have been successfully synthesized and fully identified by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and mass spectroscopy. Cobalt complexes Co4–Co8 were further confirmed by X‐ray crystallographic analysis, and all the complexes adopted distorted trigonal pyramid geometries around the cobalt center. In combination with methylaluminoxane, the complexes exhibit high cis‐1,4‐selectivity for 1,3‐butadiene polymerization. The catalytic activities of the complexes mainly depend on the nature of the substituent and its position at the pyrazolyl ring of the ligand. Complexes having a bulkier substituent on the pyrazolyl ring of the ligand show lower catalytic activity and the incorporation of electron‐withdrawing substituent enhances the activity. Polymerization behaviors were almost not affected with varying [Al]/[Co] ratio, but both activity and the cis‐1,4 content decrease slightly as polymerization temperature increasing.

双安息香缩三乙四胺双核钴硫氰酸根的离子电极研究

季铵盐型阴离子选择性电极由于其电位选择性往往表现出Hofmeister顺序,故使其应用受到限制,因此,研究呈现反Hofmeister行为的阴离子选择性电极已成为离子电极研究领域中重要的研究方向之一。近年来,人们研制出了以金属配合物为中性载体且呈现反Hofmeister行为的阴离子选择电极,本实验室也分别研究了以Schiff碱金属配合物及二氮杂四烯基金属配合物为载体的碘离子和水杨酸根离子电极,但上述电极多数是以单核金属配合物为载体,以双核金属配合物作为载体的电极则很少。
