| 摘 要： | Several novel mono( ?-enaminoketonato) vanadium complexes bearing constrained cyclic skeleton, including(C6H5)C6H3C(O) = C(CH2)nCH = N ― Ar]VCl2(THF)2(V3a: n = 1, Ar = C6H5; V4a: n = 2, Ar = C6H5; V4b: n = 2, Ar =C6F5; V4c: n = 2, Ar =(C3H7)2C6H3; V5a: n = 3, Ar = C6H5), were synthesized and their structure and properties were characterized. The structures of V4 c and V5 a in solid-state were further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.Density functional theory(DFT) results indicated that these complexes showed enhanced steric hindrance around the metal center as compared with the acyclic analogues. Upon activation with Et2 Al Cl and in the presence of ethyl trichloroacetate as a reactivator, all of the complexes exhibited high catalytic activities(107 g PE/(mol V·h)) toward ethylene polymerization, and the obtained polymers exhibited unimodal distributions(Mw/Mn = 2.0-2.3) even produced at elevated temperatures(70-100 °C) and prolonged reaction time. When MAO was employed as a cocatalyst, they only showed moderate catalytic activities(105 g PE/(mol V·h)), but the resulting polymers had higher molecular weights(168-241 kg/mol). These vanadium complexes with cyclic skeleton also showed high catalytic activities toward ethylene/norbornene copolymerization. The produced copolymers displayed approximate alternating structure at high in-feed concentration of norbornene. The catalytic capabilities of these complexes could be tuned conveniently by varying ligand structure. Furthermore, the cyclic voltammetry results also proved that these complexes exhibited better redox stabilities than the complexes bearing linear skeleton.
