Studies on the Copolymerization of Propylene and Butadiene with Supported Titanium Catalysts (I)——Copolymerizat ion and Characterizat ion of the Products

Copolymerizations of propylene and butadiene in various ratios with two kinds of supported catalysts, i.e. TiCl4/MgCl2/AlEt3 and TiCl4/MgCl2/AlEt3/ethyl Bonzoate(EB). have been investigated. The results show that these two catalysts are quite effective for propylene-butadiene copolymerization but behave in different features. Characterizations of the copolymerization products by solvent extraction, IR, 13C NMR, X-ray diffraction and DTA show that blocked propylene-propylene and butadiene-butadiene sequences exist in polymer chain and the butadiene units are exclusively in trans-1,4 configuration.

聚合温度对负载型Ziegler-Natta催化剂催化丁二烯-异戊二烯共聚合的影响

非均相TiCl₄/MgCl₂-AlR₃型Ziegler-Natta(非均相Z-N)催化剂是聚烯烃工业最重要的催化剂,经烷基铝活化的非均相Z-N催化剂具有复杂的活性中心结构,改变聚合温度、聚合时间、烷基铝种类及浓度等均会影响活性中心结构与催化性能.本文研究了不同聚合温度下TiCl₄/MgCl₂-AlEt₃(三乙基铝)催化丁二烯(Bd)和异戊二烯(Ip)的共聚合动力学,研究发现,随着聚合时间的延长,聚合活性先升高然后降低,在50℃聚合活性最高.采用核磁共振波谱(¹H NMR)、紫外荧光定硫仪和凝胶渗透色谱(GPC)研究了共聚物的微观结构、活性中心数和分子量及其分布,发现随着聚合时间的延长及聚合温度的升高,活性中心数、共聚物中反式-1,4-结构、分子量及分子量分布均发生不同规律的变化.本文研究结果可为进一步理解非均相Z-N催化剂在不同聚合温度下催化共轭二烯烃聚合的动力学及其关键影响因素提供参考.

Theoretical investigations on Ziegler-Natta catalysis: Alkylation of the TiCl4 catalyst

Theoretical ab initio methods have been used to study the alkylation reaction of the MgCl₂-supported TiCl₄ catalyst. Investigation of the reaction path indicated that the Al(CH₃)₃ co-catalyst inserts into the coordination sphere of the titanium atom of the catalyst so that a methyl group of Al(CH₃)₃ interacts with the titanium. The methyl group migrates from Al(CH₃)₃ to the vacant coordination site of the catalyst. When the catalyst loses one of its chlorine atoms to the co-catalyst during this reaction, the catalyst maintains its vacant site, but the position of the vacant site changes. The presence of the external electron donor coordinated to the co-catalyst makes the alkylation reaction energetically more favourable.     

Synthesis of titanium(IV) complexes that contain the Bis(silylamide) ligand of the type [1,8-C10H6(NR)2], and alkene polymerization catalyzed by [1,8-C10H6(NR)2]TiCl2-cocatalyst system

[1,8-C₁₀H₆(NR)₂]TiCl₂ (3; R=SiMe₃, SiⁱBuMe₂, SiⁱPr₃) complexes have been prepared from dilithio salts [1,8-C₁₀H₆(NR)₂]Li₂ (2) and TiCl₄ in diethyl ether in moderate yields (60–63%). These complexes showed significant catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization and for ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO), methyl isobutyl aluminoxane (MMAO), AlⁱBu₃– or AlEt₃–Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄ as a cocatalyst. The catalytic activities performed in heptane (cocatalyst MMAO) were higher than those carried out in toluene (cocatalyst MAO): 709 kg-PE/mol-Ti·h could be attained for ethylene polymerization by using [1,8-C₁₀H₆(NSiⁱBuMe₂)₂]TiCl₂–MMAO catalyst system.

Effects of diethyl aluminum chloride (DEAC) addition to the catalysts prepared by reduction of TiCl4 with EtMgCl on ethylene-propylene copolymerization

TiCl₃/2.5MgCl₂(0.5MgEt₂)/THF catalyst (R) was prepared by the reduction of TiCl₄ with EtMgCl. The effect of diethyl aluminum chloride (DEAC) addition on the catalytic activity in ethylene-propylene copolymerization was investigated. It was suggested from FT-i.r. that the catalyst R formed similar bimetallic (Ti-Mg-THF) complexes to the TiCl₃(AA)/3MgCl₂/THF catalyst (T3ME) of our previous report [7]. An ESR study provided evidence that the Ti³⁺ species in the catalyst R was of the multinuclear type, instead of an isolated type of T3ME, and it changed from a tetrahedral to an octahedral structure with addition of DEAC. The activities of R catalysts in copolymerization were more or less in the same order of magnitude with each other due to the multinuclear nature of the Ti³⁺ species, and the response to propylene comonomer decreased with addition of DEAC. The polydispersity of comonomer over R catalysts was in the range of 6–10, being much broader than that over the T3ME catalyst system. It might be due to the heterogeneity of the titanium(III) structure; tetrahedral as well as octahedral in R, instead of only octahedral in T3ME.

Immobilization and activation of 2,6-bis(imino)pyridyl Fe, Cr and V precatalysts using a MgCl2/AlRn(OEt)3−n support: Effects on polyethylene molecular weight and molecular weight distribution

Ethylene polymerizations carried out with various bis(imino)pyridyl iron, chromium and vanadium complexes immobilized on a MgCl₂/AlR_n(OEt)_3−n support gave relatively broad polyethylene molecular weight distributions in the case of iron, but high molecular weight and a very narrow molecular weight distribution with vanadium, indicative of a single active species. The narrow MWD was confirmed by melt rheometry. Similar results were obtained after reaction of the bis(imino)pyridyl complex LVCl₃ (6) with MeLi or AlEt₃, where alkylation of the pyridine ring gives a complex L′VCl₂ (7). In the case of chromium, a bimodal distribution was obtained, with evidence of incomplete catalyst immobilization. The polyethylene molecular weights obtained with the iron complexes were strongly dependent on the substituents in the bis(imino)pyridyl ligand, and were somewhat higher than have been obtained in homogeneous polymerization. In contrast, the molecular weights obtained with the bis(imino)pyridyl chromium and vanadium complexes were much higher that those previously obtained under homogeneous conditions. In all cases, the activities of the immobilized catalysts were higher than those found in homogeneous polymerization.

A theoretical investigation of the adsorption surface sites of the activated MgCl2

The adsorption of carbon monoxide on activated MgCl₂ has been investigated within DFT using different models of the MgCl₂ surface. All the models were Mg₆Cl₁₀ clusters with two saturating OH groups. It has been found that the adsorption sites within the models based on the geometry of the ideal MgCl₂ crystal are stronger than they are in the experiment. It has also been found that relaxed clusters based on the geometry of the relaxed MgCl₂ surface present more accurate models of the MgCl₂ surface and account the relaxation effects properly. IR spectra of carbon monoxide bounded to three different adsorption sites calculated within relaxed clusters approximation is in excellent agreement with the experimental data. Such an agreement allows us to conclude that adsorption sites of the activated MgCl₂ surface in general are 3-, 4- and 5-fold Mg atoms and the structure of these sites follows the structure of corresponded relaxed MgCl₂ crystallographic faces.     

Profiles of ethylene polymerization with zirconocene–trialkylaluminum/borane compound

Ethylene polymerization was conducted with bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride (1) and rac-dimethylsilylenebis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride (2) combined with trialkylaluminum (AlR₃; R=methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), isobutyl (iBu))/triphenylcarbenium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄) or tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C₆F₅)₃) to study the effect of cocatalysts on polymerization rate (R_p). When AlMe₃ was used, no activity or very low activity was observed with both zirconocenes regardless of the borane compounds used. The replacement of AlMe₃ to AlEt₃ or AliBu₃ with 1–AlR₃/Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄ caused polymerization and induction time was observed to reach the maximum R_p. Especially in the case of using AlEt₃, it took about 30 min to show the activity. When B(C₆F₅)₃ was used, AlEt₃ was not effective but AliBu₃ gave the highest activity among all the combinations of AlR₃ and the borane compounds. In the case of polymerization with 2 using Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄, high activity was observed with both AlEt₃ and AliBu₃ without any induction period. When B(C₆F₅)₃ was used instead of Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄, very low activity was observed with AlEt₃. On the other hand, high activity was observed with AliBu₃, and the maximum R_p was found at the beginning of the polymerization. The effect of AlR₃ on the formation of active species was discussed based on these results.
