SUPPORTED CATALYST WITHOUT EXTERNAL ELECTRON DONOR FOR PROPYLENE POLYMERIZATION Ⅱ. TACTICITY DISTRIBUTION AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF POLYPROPYLENE*

Propylene was polymerized with a novel supported Ziegler-Natta catalystcontaining 2,2-di-iso-butyl-1,3-dimethoxy-propane (DIBDMP) as internal donor and in theabsence of external donor. The tacticity distribution of polypropylene was obtained by usingtemperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) technique and microstructure of fractionswas studied with ~(13)C-NMR. Compared with the catalyst without electron donor, this cat-alyst gives a considerably narrower tacticity distribution. Fractionation data demonstratethat DIBDMP shows better performance than aromatic diester DNBP (di-n-butyl phtha-late). Chemically inverted propylene units and less stereoblockiness are found in the firstfraction. Possible reasons for these were presented.     

Effects of Various Amounts of New Hepta-Ether as the Internal Donor on the Polymerization of Propylene with and without the External Donor

The new hepta-ether compound as the internal donor was synthesized using the Williamson reaction of dipentaerythritol with sodium hydride as the strong base and iodomethane as the alkyl halide. The hepta-ether compound was characterized by NMR, FTIR, and GC techniques. The MgCl₂-supported catalysts incorporated with different amounts of hepta-ether compound as the internal donor and without the internal donor were synthesized and characterized. The propylene polymerization was carried out using these catalysts in the presence of triethylaluminum as a co-catalyst and hydrogen as a chain transfer agent, with and without the external donor. The effect of a new internal donor on propylene polymerization using prepared MgCl₂-supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts was investigated.     

DNBP给电子体构象分析及在Ziegler-Natta丙烯聚合中作用机理研究

首次采用TINKER构象搜索和DFT结构优化相结合方法,基于对Ziegler-Natta丙烯聚合催化体系邻苯二甲酸正丁酯(DNBP)给电子体快速搜索出的1 023种构象,筛选出其优势构象,减少了给电子体初始稳定结构搭建模型的盲目性和随机性.采用DFT方法,对DNBP两种构象与MgCl2载体相互作用及丙烯插入立体选择性机理进行了研究.结果表明,DNBP构象影响其在MgCl2表面的吸附,s-顺、反式构象可以单齿、桥连和螯合方式吸附在MgCl2(110)表面;s-顺、顺式仅存在桥连吸附.双氯原子缺陷载体模型上TiCl4吸附的稳定性高于DNBP,成为可能的活性中心;给电子体对活性位的作用与其吸附方式有关,DNBP以桥连方式吸附在Ti的邻位,可将无规活性中心有效转化为等规活性中心,而螯合方式不能改善催化剂的立体结构和区域选择性.     

内给电子体对Ziegler-Natta催化剂性能的影响

研究了5种新型内给电子体对Ziegler-Natta催化剂结构和催化性能的影响.结果表明,使用两种不同制备工艺制备的氯化镁载体均为δ晶型,而不同的内给电子体的加入使得催化剂的氯化镁载体具有不同的微晶结构和形态.在催化剂制备阶段中,内给电子体的加入方式对催化剂的性能有很大的影响.在5种内给电子体中,以cis-1,2-环己二甲酸二异丁酯为内给电子体时,催化剂的聚合活性和PP等规度最高,性能与工业催化剂相当;当选用cis-1,2-环己二甲酸二异丁酯为内给电子体,CMMS为外给电子体,硅钛物质的量之比为10及铝钛物质的量之比为100时,催化剂的聚合活性和PP等规度达到最高.     

负载型催化剂制备的聚丙烯等规度分布

负载型Ziesler－Natta催化剂中存在许多活性中心［'3，为了解其本质，需对其各自产生的聚合物进行分离，以往采用的溶剂抽提法［'－'j只能将聚合物大致分级．最近，升温淋洗分级法（TREF）已被运用于聚丙烯的分级卜，'，其原理是根据聚合物的结晶度分级D'，影响聚丙烯结晶性的主要因素是等规度，而分子量到达一定程度后其影响较小，故通过TREF分级可得到聚丙烯的等规度分布．TREF法的淋洗温度可控，故分级效果较好．该法在分级前需对样品进行等温结晶处理，以消除抽提法由于样品未必充分结晶而带来的误差．本文用TREF法对不同催化…     

New penta-ether as the internal donor in the MgCl2-supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts for propylene polymerization

The penta-ether compound was synthesized by the reaction of di(trimethylolpropane) with sodium hydride as the strong base and methyl iodide as the alkyl halide. This compound was characterized by NMR, FTIR, and GC techniques. The MgCl₂-supported titanium catalysts were incorporated with varying amounts of penta-ether compound as the internal donor and also the catalysts without the internal donor were synthesized. The synthesized catalysts and the conventional Ziegler- Natta catalyst were characterized. The titanium contents were determined by spectrophotometry, magnesium by complexometric titration and chloride by argentometric titration. The effects of the new internal donor on propylene polymerization with the prepared MgCl₂-supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts were investigated and then these results were compared to the results obtained using the conventional diisobutyl phthalate-besed-Ziegler-Natta catalyst. The highest crystallinity degree, melting temperature, and isotacticity of polypropylene were obtained using the catalyst with a penta-ether/Mg molar ratio equal to 0.21.     

Broad Molecular Weight Polypropylene Synthesis using Mixed Internal Donor Incorporated Magnesium Dichloride Supported Titanium Catalyst

Magnesium dichloride supported titanium tetrachloride catalyst with mixed internal donor, comprised of ethylbenzoate and sulfolane, were synthesized. The composition characteristics of catalysts indicate incorporation of sulfolane to max 8.2 wt%, in addition to ethylbenzoate. The amount of incorporated donors in solid catalyst is dependent on the sulfolane concentration and reaction temperature of the process. A physical characteristics study of catalyst indicated that morphology, crystallite size, surface area, pore volume and titanium distribution have not been influenced much by incorporation of the second internal donor (sulfolane). The catalysts, in combination with triethyl aluminum as cocatalyst and p-ethoxyethylbenzoate as external donor, show good activity for propylene polymerization. The polypropylene synthesized with an optimized catalyst system shows broad molecular weight distribution as compared to ethylbenzoate based catalyst.     

丙烯等规聚合Ziegler-Natta催化剂体系中给电子体化合物的研究进展

External Donor Induced Direct Contact Effects on Mg(OC2H5)2-Based Ziegler-Natta Catalysts for Propylene Polymerization

Effects of external donor induced direct contact without alkylaluminum were studied for Ziegler-Natta catalysts containing monoester and diester as internal donors on the catalytic performances such as activity and stereoselectivity. Traditional slurry polymerizations were carried out for rather short period after direct contact for a variety of time. GC analysis was also performed to observe replacement phenomena of donors during direct contact. It was postulated that the different performances of the catalysts were greatly affected by the pair of internal and external donors.     

Exploring Si/Mg composite supported Ziegler-Natta Ti-based catalysts for propylene polymerization

A series of(Si_O2/MgO/ID/MgCl_2)·TiClx Ziegler-Natta catalysts for propylene polymerization has been prepared with a new method. These catalysts were synthesized using soluble Mg-compounds as the Mg-source and the preparation progress was relatively simple. The catalyst could copy the spherical shape of the carrier very well. The propylene polymerization results showed that the catalyst revealed the best activity with 9,9-di(methoxymethyl)fluorene(BMMF) as internal donor at 50 °C with the optimal molar ratio Al/Ti = 5, which was much lower than what the industrial polypropylene catalyst used(at least molar ratio Al/Ti = 100), resulting in great cost saving. Additionally, the polymerization kinetics of the catalyst exhibited very stable property after achieving a relatively high value. These catalysts possessed rather high activity and good hydrogen response. The isotactic index(Ⅱ.) value of the PP products could be higher than 98% in the presence of both internal and external electron donors. Moreover, temperature rising elution fractionation method was used to understand the influence of donors and H2 on the properties of the PP products.     

给电子体在丙烯聚合MgCl2载体催化剂体系中的作用

制备了3种含有不同内给电子体(邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯,9,9-二甲氧基甲基-芴和1,1-双甲氧基甲基-环丁烷)的MgCl2负载型丙烯聚合齐格勒-纳塔(Z-N)催化剂,研究了给电子体结构与聚合性能之间的关系,用红外光谱剖析了催化剂及其相关化合物的结构,结果发现催化剂中的内给电子体直接与MgCl2配位,而没有与TiCl4结合.内给电子体的加入,降低了Z-N催化剂中钛的含量,提高催化丙烯聚合的活性,使聚合物的分子量分布变窄.聚合物立构规整度的变化强烈依赖于内给电子体的结构.     

MgCl_2负载TiCl_4催化剂中内给电子体对活性组分钛的影响

应用XPSI、R等表征手段研究了以MgCl2为载体,苯甲酸酯、邻苯二甲酸酯以及1,3-二醚为内给电子体的Ziegler_Natta(Z-N)催化剂中内给电子体对活性组分Ti的作用.实验结果表明,不同内给电子体Z-N催化剂中Ti的氧化状态是不同的,给电子体不与Ti直接发生作用,而是通过MgCl2为媒介向Ti发生电荷转移,造成Ti周围电子云密度增大,Ti的氧化状态降低,表现为Ti的结合能下降.     

Effect of different donors on kinetics of Zn catalysts and molecular weight of the obtained polypropylene

This paper studies MgCl₂/internal donor/TiCl₄//external donor/AlEt₃ catalytic systems where ethyl benzoate (E.B.) or 2,2,6,6 tetramethylpiperidine (TMPiP) are used as internal and external donors. E.B. as external donor does not change the molecular weight of the product with TMPiP as internal donor. The molecular weight of polypropylene decreases drastically and global productivity and stereoselectivity are very low with MgCl₂/internal Donor/TiCl₄//external donor/AlEt₃ when TMPiP is the external and internal donor. In this case the insoluble fraction in n-heptane is highly stereospecific and the molecular weight is similar to commercial products. We present a new explanation of these results, based on Ystenes proposal, comparing both precatalysts.     

Stereo- and enantioselective polymerization of hexa-1,5-diene on heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts obtained with the use of optically active internal donors

Pure racemates and individual enantiomers of diethyl 2,3-diisopropylsuccinate ((+,−)-DIPS and (−)-DIPS) and 2,3-diisopropyl-1,4-dimethoxybutane ((+,−)-DPDMB and (+)-DPDMB) were prepared. The synthesized compounds and diethyl phthalate were used as internal donors for the preparation of heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts. Polymerization of hexa-1,5-diene was carried out on these catalysts. The obtained samples of poly(methylene-1,3-cyclopentane) were studied by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and polarimetry. The induction of optical activity to polymer is observed with (−)-DIPS as the internal donor. The induction value makes up 15–20% from the value recorded in the case of optically active metallocene catalysts. The emergence of induction may be associated with the presence of close contact between the titanium atom and the donor molecule within the active site of catalyst, as well as with the fact that the donor molecule either deactivates a part of the stereospecific titanium centers or influences the structure of the titanium centers during their formation and development.     

Kinetics of polymerization of 1-octene with Mgcl2-supported Ticl4 catalysts

A number of TiCl₄ catalysts supported on MgCl₂ which was activated by the recrystallization method using different alcohols were prepared with ethyl benzoate or dibutyl phthalate as the internal electron donor. All the catalysts were characterized by BET, x-ray diffraction, and hydrolysis–GC analysis. Kinetics of polymerization of 1-octene was studied with three of the above catalysts (having different internal electron donors) activated by AlEt₃. The rate of polymerization increased linearly with increasing temperature, and catalyst and monomer concentrations. From the Arrhenius plot, the overall activation energies of polymerization were determined and the dependence of rate on the AlEt₃ concentration could be explained by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. ¹³C-NMR was used to study the effect of internal electron donors on the % isotacticity of poly(1-octene). The catalytic activities of all the catalysts were compared in 1-octene polymerization. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Structure of the photocolored 2-(2',4'-dinitrobenzyl)pyridine crystal: two-photon induced solid-state proton transfer with minor structural perturbation

The X-ray structure of the blue phototautomer of 2-(2',4'-dinitrobenzyl)pyridine (DNBP) produced by two-photon excitation in a single crystal is the first direct evidence of a product in the DNBP photochromic family. A nitro-assisted proton transfer mechanism is attributed to the photocoloration of solid DNBP.     

Effects of external donors and hydrogen concentration on oligomer formation and chain end distribution in propylene polymerization with Ziegler‐Natta catalysts

The effect of type and concentration of external donor and hydrogen concentration on oligomer formation and chain end distribution were studied. Bulk polymerization of propylene was carried out with two different Ziegler‐Natta catalysts at 70 °C, one a novel self‐supported catalyst (A) and the other a conventional MgCl₂‐supported catalyst (B) with triethyl aluminum as cocatalyst. The external donors used were dicyclopentyl dimethoxy silane (DCP) and cyclohexylmethyl dimethoxy silane (CHM). The oligomer amount was shown to be strongly dependent on the molecular weight of the polymer. Catalyst A gave approximately 50 % lower oligomer content than catalyst B due to narrower molecular weight distribution in case of catalyst A. More n‐Bu‐terminated chain ends were found for catalyst A indicating more frequent 2,1 insertions. Catalyst A also gave more vinylidene‐terminated oligomers, suggesting that chain transfer to monomer, responsible for the vinylidene chain ends, was a more important chain termination mechanism for this catalyst, especially at low hydrogen concentration. Low site selectivity, due to low external donor concentration or use of a weak external donor (CHM), was also found to increase formation of vinylidene‐terminated oligomers. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Untersuchung an Nickel-Zeolith-Trägerkatalysatoren. II. Benzolhydrierung in der Gasphase an Nickel-Zeolith-Träger-katalysatoren

NI-exchanged zeolite catalysts were studied, by means of the benzene hydrogenation at 100–150°C. Catalysts of zeolite type A proved to be more active than those of the X type. Catalytic activity (related to the amount of Ni) decreases with increasing Ni content in the catalysts. The effective energy of activation is 13.5 kcal/mole; it does not depend on the Xi content and the kind of support. It could be shown by adsorption of benzene on Ni zeolite catalysts that in case of A-type catalysts benzene is adsorbed only on the external surface. In ease of X-type catalysts, however, benzene molecules are able to reach the internal surface, too. Hydrogenation of benzene proceeds only on the external surface for both types of catalysts.     

Effect of electron donors on polymerization of propylene in the presence of titanium-magnesium catalysts

The effect of internal and external electron donors on the polymerization of propylene in a liquid monomer or a hydrocarbon diluent (hexane) in the presence of a titanium-magnesium nanocatalyst activated with an organoaluminum compound (triethylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum) and the properties of the resulting PP are studied. The polymerization of propylene in the absence of internal and external donors yields atactic PP, whereas, in the presence of a catalyst containing an aryl internal donor, isotactic PP is formed. The activity and stereospecificity of the catalytic system substantially depends on the method of electron-donor introduction. The thermal treatment of the catalyst with an electron donor affects its activity and stereospecificity.
