Polymerization of 1,3-Butadiene Catalyzed by Cobalt(Ⅱ) and Nickel(Ⅱ) Complexes Bearing Pyridine-2-imidate Ligands

Cobalt and nickel complexes (1a-1d and 2a-2d, respectively) supported by 2-imidate-pyridine ligands were synthesized and used for 1,3-butadiene polymerization. The complexes were characterized by IR and element analysis, and complex 1a was further characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The solid state structure of complex 1a displayed a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Upon activation with ethylaluminum sesquichloride (EASC), all the complexes showed high activities toward 1,3-butadiene polymerization. The cobalt complexes produced polymers with high cis-1,4 contents and high molecular weights, while the nickel complexes displayed low cis-1,4 selectivity and the resulting polymers had low molecular weights. The catalytic activities of the complexes highly depended on the ligand structure. With the increment of polymerization temperature, the cis-1,4 content and the molecular weight of the resulting polymer decreased.     

Highly active and stereospecific polymerization of 1,3-butadiene catalyzed by dinuclear cobalt(II) complexes bearing 3-aryliminomethyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehydes

A series of cobalt(II) complexes bearing 3-aryliminomethyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehydes (tridentate [NOO] ligands) was prepared and characterized by FT-IR and elemental analysis along with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that a dinuclear centrosymmetrical structure formed, in which each cobalt atom is surrounded by two bridged ligands and two acetate groups as a distorted octahedron. These dinuclear cobalt complexes displayed high catalytic activities for the polymerization of 1,3-butdiene on activation with organoaluminum cocatalysts to yield cis-1,4-polybutadiene with high selectivity. Ethylaluminum sesquichloride (EASC) was found to be the most efficient cocatalyst resulting in high conversion of butadiene and cis-1,4 content in the polymers with moderate molecular weight. The high catalytic activity and stereoselectivity could be achieved in a wide range of reaction conditions. All the dinuclear cobalt complexes (C1-C6) yielded predominantly cis-1,4-polybutadienes (> 96%) with negligible amounts of trans-1,4 (< 2.4%) and 1,2-vinyl (< 1.5%) products under the Al/Co molar ratio of 80 at 25 °C. The ligand modification by varying the substituents at the 4-position of phenol and on the imino-N aryl ring showed slight influence on the catalytic activity and microstructure of the resulting polymers.     

Solvent effect in cis-1,4 polymerization of 1,3-butadiene by a catalyst based on neodymium

In this work a laboratory polymerization scale process was studied for the production of polybutadiene with high content of cis-1,4 repeating units. A Ziegler-Natta catalytic system based on neodymium versatate (catalyst), diisobutylaluminium hydride (cocatalyst) and tert-butyl chloride (chlorinating agent) was used. The influence of solvent nature (pure grade) and possible contaminants (electron donors) in a recovered solvent from a butadiene-styrene anionic polymerization industrial plant on the stereoselectivity and catalytic activity, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the resultant polybutadienes was studied. The polymers were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography. Polybutadienes with cis-1,4 units content in the range of 99-98% were produced. The polymers weight-average molecular weight, , varied from 2.23 × 10⁵ to 4.47 × 10⁵ and the molecular weight distribution, MWD, from 3.1 to 5.1.     

Synthesis, characterization and butadiene polymerization studies of cobalt(II) complexes bearing bisiminopyridine ligand

A series of 2,6-bis(imino)pyridyl Co(II) complexes of the general formulas [2,6-(ArNCMe)₂C₅H₃N]CoCl₂ (Ar = -C₆H₅, 3a; 2-MeC₆H₄, 3b; 2-EtC₆H₄, 3c; 2-ⁱPrC₆H₄, 3d; 2,6-ⁱPr₂C₆H₃, 3e; 4-ⁱPrC₆H₄, 3f; 4-FC₆H₄, 3g; 4-CF₃C₆H₄, 3h; 2-FC₆H₄, 3i; 2,6-F₂C₆H₃, 3j; 2-Me-4-FC₆H₃, 3k and 2,6-Me₂-4-FC₆H₂, 3l) and [2,6-(ArNCH)₂C₅H₃N]CoCl₂ (Ar = -C₆H₅, 3m; 2-EtC₆H₄, 3n and 4-ⁱPrC₆H₄, 3o) have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of new complexes 3a, 3f-3h and 3m-3o are further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. All complexes adopt distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration with the equatorial plane formed by the pyridyl nitrogen atoms and the two chlorine atoms. In the complexes 3m and 3o, three aromatic rings are essentially coplanar, which is in sharp contrast to the other complexes, where three rings are almost orthogonal to each other. With methylaluminoxane (MAO) as cocatalyst in toluene at room temperature, the complexes show moderate to high conversion (42-99%) in butadiene polymerization, producing polybutadiene with tunable cis-1,4 structure (77.5-97%) and controllable molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The catalytic activity, selectivity as well as the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the resultant polymer are found to be dependent on the size and nature of substituents on iminoaryl rings and their positions located. By deliberately tuning the ligand structure, more efficient catalyst in terms of high activity and high selectivity can be obtained.     

Polymerization of acrylate monomers with MAO activated iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes bearing tri- and tetradentate nitrogen ligands

Octahedral iron(II) and cobalt(II) based complexes, [N,N′-di(quinoline-2-methylene)-1,2-phenylenediimine]MCl₂, and [N,N′-di(quinoline-2-methylene)diiminocyclohexane]MCl₂ (M = Co and Fe), bearing tetradentate diimino nitrogen ligands were prepared and used in tert-butylacrylate (t-BA) polymerization after activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO). In general, polyacrylates with high molar mass and narrow molar mass distribution (MMD ≈ 2) were obtained. In order to understand the influence of the ligand on the polymerization process, polymerization behaviour of the hexacoordinated complexes was compared to pentacoordinated iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes, 2,6-bis[1-(cyclohexylimido)ethyl]pyridine MCl₂ (M = Co and Fe), bearing tridentate diimine nitrogen ligands as well as to free iron(II) chloride. The ability of the MAO activated hexacoordinated complexes to polymerize methylacrylate (MA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was also considered, but reduced activities as well as lower molar mass polymers were obtained than in the experiments with t-BA.     

Synthesis and utilization of alternative chain transfer agent in cobalt catalyzed 1,3-butadiene polymerization reaction to produce cis-polybutadiene rubber

The cyclodimerization of 1,3-butadiene was performed to synthesize 1,5-cyclooctadiene by using nickel-phosphite based catalyst system. The optimization of cyclodimerization reaction was done to achieve up to 80% selectivity towards 1,5-cyclooctadiene. 1,5-Cyclooctadiene, thus synthesized, was subsequently employed as a chain transfer agent (CTA) for controlling the molecular weight (M.W.) of cis-polybutadiene rubber (BR) in cobalt-complex catalyzed 1,3-butadiene polymerization reaction. The M.W. of BR was reduced from 6.7 to 1.88 × 10⁵ g/mol by escalating the concentration of 1,5-cyclooctadiene from 0% to 0.5% with respect to 1,3-butadiene (monomer) concentration. Similar reducing trend was observed for the Mooney viscosity and gel content of BR with increasing 1,5-cyclooctadiene concentration. The efficacy of 1,5-cyclooctadiene as a CTA for 1,3-butadiene polymerization reaction was further explored by conducting polymerization reaction in various solvents and at higher monomer conversion (∼70%). The effect of 4-vinyl cyclohexene, which was a dominant byproduct during cyclodimerization of 1,3-butadiene, was also investigated. The presence of 4-vinyl cyclohexene has shown adverse effect in the polymerization reaction and was not functioning as a chain transfer agent. Finally, a feasibility of replacement of commercially used gaseous CTA, 1,2-butadiene, by in-house synthesized liquid CTA, 1,5-cyclooctadiene, was also investigated.

Synthesis and structural characterization of ruthenium(II) complexes bearing phosphine-pyrazolyl based tripod ligands

Phosphine-pyrazolyl based tripod ligands ROCH₂C(CH₂Pz)₂(CH₂PPh₂) (R = H, Me, allyl; Pz = pyrazol-1-yl) were efficiently synthesized and characterized. Reactions of these ligands with [Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)Cl₂]₂ afforded complexes of the type [Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)Cl₂](L) (6-8) in which the ligands exhibit κ¹-P-coordination to the metal center. Complex [Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)Cl₂{Ph₂PCH₂C(CH₂OH)(CH₂Pz)₂}] (6) underwent chloride-dissociation in CH₂Cl₂/MeCN to give complex [RuCl(η⁶-p-cymene){κ²(P,N)-Ph₂PCH₂C(CH₂OH)(CH₂Pz)₂}][Cl] (9). Complexes 6-9 demonstrated poor to moderate catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone. All these complexes were fully characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods and their molecular structures were determined by X-ray crystallographic study.     

Polymerization of vinyl monomers via MAO activated iron(II) dichloro complexes bearing bis(imino)pyridine-, quinolinaldimine- and thiophenaldimine-based tridentate nitrogen ligands

A series of iron(II) complexes (4a-d, 10, and 11) bearing 2,6-bis[(imino)ethyl]pyridine-(3a-d), quinolinaldimine-(8) and thiophenaldimine-(9) based ligands were disclosed as active complexes for the polymerization of tert-butylacrylate (t-BA). After activation with methyl aluminoxane (MAO), the complexes showed moderate to high polymerization activities and produced high molar mass polymers. In addition, the catalyst system 4d/MAO was examined for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and n-vinylcarbazole (NVC). The influence of MAO/Cat. molar ratio, polymerization time, and monomer concentration on the polymerization reaction of methyl methacrylate was explored.In the polymerization of tert-butylacrylate with 2,6-bis[(imino)ethyl]pyridine iron(II)-based catalysts, bulky terminal aliphatic substituents have a favorable influence on the polymerization activity compared to the aromatic ones. This catalyst system was also more active than the quinolinaldimine-, (10) and thiophenaldimine-, (11) based catalysts.     

Vinyl-addition polymerization of norbornene catalyzed by (pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine divalent iron, cobalt and nickel complexes

Complexes of 2-((3,5-dimethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine (L1), 2-((3,5-ditert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)pyridine (L2), 2-((3,5-diphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)pyridine (L3), 2-((3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine (L4) and 2,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)pyridine (L5) with cobalt(II), iron(II) and nickel(II), Ni(L1)Cl₂ (1), Co(L1)Cl₂ (2), Fe(L1)Cl₂ (3), Ni(L2)Cl₂ (4), Ni(L3)Cl₂ (5), Co(L3)Cl₂ (6), Fe(L3)Cl₂ (7), Ni(L4)Cl₂ (8) and Ni(L5)Cl₂ (9), were used as catalyst precursors to produce vinyl-addition type norbornene polymers. Both the identity of the metal center and nature of ligand affected the polymerization behaviour of the resultant catalysts. Nickel catalysts were generally more active than the corresponding iron and cobalt analogues. The polynorbornene produced have high molecular weights (0.5-2.1 × 10⁶ g/mol) and narrow molecular weight distributions. Analyses of polymer microstructure using NMR and IR spectroscopy confirmed the polymers produced to be vinyl-addition polynorbornene.
