Propene, 1-butene and 1-hexene polymerization was conducted with a mixture of rac- and meso-[dimethylsilylenebis((2,3,5-tetramethyl-cyclopentadienyl))]zirconium dichloride (Me2Si(2,3,5-Me3Cp)2ZrCl2) ( 1 ) combined with methylaluminoxane (MAO), triethylaluminium (AlEt3)/triphenylcarbenium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (Ph3CB(C6F5)4) ( 2 ) and triisobutylaluminium (AliBu3)/Ph3CB(C6F5)4, respectively, as co-catalyst systems. The ratios of polymerization rates Rp(rac)/Rp(meso) were changed with the combined cocatalysts. It was found that in the case of using trialkylaluminium/ 2 as co-catalyst Rp(rac)/Rp(meso) is lower than when using MAO in any kind of α-olefin polymerization. 相似文献
A new zirconocene ansa-Me2Si-(2Me-4-p-Tol-cyclopenta[b]indol-3-yl)2ZrCl2 complex (I), in which the Cp ligand is fused with the indole ring, has been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Light

The structural parameters of complex I are compared with the known bis-indenyl zirconium complexes: rac-Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2 (II) and rac-Me2Si(2Me-2Ph-1-Ind)2ZrCl2 (III) and analogous substituted rac-Me2Si(2,5-Me2-3Ph-6-Cp[b]Tp)2ZrCl2 (IV) and rac-Me2Si(2,5-Me2-1Ph-4-Cp[b]Py)2ZrCl2 (V). Complex I alkylated by the Grignard reagent (MgMe2) in the presence of the Al-iso-Bu3 cocatalyst is an efficient catalyst for the polymerization of propylene into isotactic polypropylene. 相似文献
Using two different zirconocene/MAO catalyst systems, propene was copolymerized with the comonomers 2‐(9‐decene‐1‐yl)‐1,3‐oxazoline and 2‐(4‐(10‐undecene‐1‐oxo)phenyl)‐1,3‐oxazoline, respectively. The catalysts used were rac‐Et[Ind]2ZrCl2 and rac‐Me2Si[2‐Me‐4, 5‐BenzInd]2ZrCl2. Up to 0.53 mol‐% oxazoline could be incorporated into polypropene. Oxazoline content, molecular weight, degree of isotacticity and melting behavior were dependent on the catalyst system, comonomer structure and comonomer concentration in the feed. 相似文献
Studies related to the behavior of different metallocene catalysts for the homopolymerization of 1-octadecene andits copolymerization with ethylene will be presented. The metallocenes: rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2, rac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 andPh_2C(Flu)(Cp)ZrCl_2 were chosen for the homopolymerization study. They show important differences in catalytic activity athigh temperatures (≥70℃), with rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 showing the highest activity. At lower temperatures (≤30℃) thedifferences are negligible. For the copolymerization of ethylene with 1-octadecene only the catalysts rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 andrac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 were studied. The results show that their catalytic activity is just like that for the homopolymerizationof 1-octadecene, with higher activity for the metallocene with the Et-bridged catalyst. ~(13)C-NMR analysis shows that thecomposition of the copolymerization products depends on the catalytic systems. Copolymers obtained with rac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 have greater comonomer incorporation. Thermal analysis shows that poly-1-octadecene synthesized withthe catalyst rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 is very dependent on the polymerization temperature. The homopolymer obtained at 70℃presents two endothermal peaks at 41℃ and 53℃, as compared with the one obtained at 30℃ which presents one wider peakwith a maximum at 67℃. For the catalyst rac-Me_2Si(Ind)_2ZrCl_2 this trend is not observed. The type of metallocene and thereaction time do not significantly change the intrinsic viscosity, but the polymerization temperature changes it drastically,giving higher values at lower temperature. Viscosity measurements on the copolymers show that an increase of comonomerconcentration in the feed reduces the molecular weight of the copolymer, and it was also found that for homopolymer, themolecular weight is independent of the catalytic systems. 相似文献
The kinetics of the ethylene‐norbornene copolymerization, catalyzed by rac‐Et(Ind)2ZrCl2/MAO, 90%rac/10%meso‐Et(4,7‐Me2Ind)2ZrCl2/MAO and rac‐H2C(3‐tert‐BuInd)2ZrCl2/MAO was followed by sampling from the reaction mixture at fixed time intervals. Catalyst activity, copolymer composition and molar mass were studied as a function of time. The polymers showed an unusually low polydispersity and a significant increase in their molar mass with time, suggesting a quasi‐living polymerization. 相似文献
Copolymerization of propene and 1-hexene has been carried out at 30°C in toluene under atmospheric pressure by using three isospecific metallocene amide compounds, rac-(EBI)Zr(NMe2)2 (EBI = ethylenebis(1-indenyl), rac- 1 ), rac-(EBI)Zr(NC4H8)2 (rac- 2 ), and rac-Me2Si(1-C5H2-2-Me-4-t-Bu)2Zr(NMe2)2 (rac- 3 ), in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO) or [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4]. The rate enhancements in the presence of 1-hexene were recorded as a function of the catalytic systems. The incorporation of 1-hexene decreases in the following order: rac- 2 /MAO > rac- 3 /Al(i-Bu)3/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] > rac- 1 /MAO. All copolymers investigated in this study have a nearly random sequence distribution. 相似文献
The rac-ethylenebis(indenyl)methylzirconium ‘cation’ (1), generated from rac-Et(Ind)2ZrMe2 and Ph3CB(C6F5)4, has recently been shown to be exceedingly active and stereoselective in propylene polymerization. The ethyl analog (2) can be produced by an alternate, efficient route involving a reaction between rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 and AlEt3 (TEA), followed by addition of Ph3CB(C6F5)4. The use of excess AlEt3 serves both to alkylate the zirconium complex as well as to scavenge the system. The propylene polymerization activity of the ‘cation’ 2 is about 7000 times greater than the activity of rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2/methylaluminoxane (MAO) at Tp=?20°C. The related catalyst system rac-Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2/TEA/Ph3CB(C6F5)4 (3) was found to produce 98.3% i-PP with Tm 156.3°C and an activity of 1.8 × 109 g PP {(mol Zr) [C3H6]h}?1. 相似文献
Using 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopies, cationic intermediates formed by activation of L2ZrCl2 with methylaluminoxane (MAO) in toluene were monitored at Al/Zr ratios from 50 to 1000 (L2 are various cyclopentadienyl (Cp), indenyl (Ind) and fluorenyl (Flu) ligands). The following catalysts were studied: (Cp-R)2ZrCl2 (R=Me, 1,2-Me2, 1,2,3-Me3, 1,2,4-Me3, Me4, Me5, n-Bu, t-Bu), rac-ethanediyl(Ind)2ZrCl2, rac-Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2, rac-Me2Si(1-Ind-2-Me)2ZrCl2, rac-ethanediyl(1-Ind-4,5,6,7-H4)2ZrCl2, (Ind-2-Me)2ZrCl2, Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2, Me2C(Cp-3-Me)(Flu)ZrCl2 and Me2Si(Flu)2ZrCl2. Correlations between spectroscopic and ethene polymerization data for catalysts (Cp-R)2ZrCl2/MAO (R=H, Me, 1,2-Me2, 1,2,3-Me3, 1,2,4-Me3, Me4, Me5, n-Bu, t-Bu) and rac-Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2 were established. The catalysts (Cp-R)2ZrCl2/AlMe3/CPh3+B(C6F5)4− (R=Me, 1,2-Me2, 1,2,3-Me3, 1,2,4-Me3, Me4, n-Bu, t-Bu) were also studied for comparison of spectroscopic and polymerization data with MAO-based systems. Complexes of type (Cp-R)2ZrMe+←Me−-Al≡MAO (IV) with different [Me-MAO]− counteranions have been identified in the (Cp-R)2ZrCl2/MAO (R=n-Bu, t-Bu) systems at low Al/Zr ratios (50-200). At Al/Zr ratios of 500-1000, the complex [L2Zr(μ-Me)2AlMe2]+[Me-MAO]− (III) dominates in all MAO-based reaction systems studied. Ethene polymerization activity strongly depends on the Al/Zr ratio (Al/Zr=200-1000) for the systems (Cp-R)2ZrCl2/MAO (R=H, Me, n-Bu, t-Bu), while it is virtually constant in the same range of Al/Zr ratios for the catalytic systems (Cp-R)2ZrCl2/MAO (R=1,2-Me2, 1,2,3-Me3, 1,2,4-Me3, Me4) and rac-Me2Si(Ind)2ZrCl2/MAO. The data obtained are interpreted on assumption that complex III is the main precursor of the active centers of polymerization in MAO-based systems. 相似文献
Propylene polymerization and propylene/1-octene copolymerization were studied using rac-Me2SiInd2ZrCl2(1)/MAO or rac-Me2SiInd2ZrCl2/(MAO + TIBA) as catalyst (methyl aluminoxane, MAO; AliBu3, TIBA). The structure distribution of the polymers was characterized by temperature gradient extraction fractionation or precipitation fractionation, as well as by DSC analysis of the thermal segregated samples. By comparing the structure distribution of polypropylene and propylene-1-octene copolymer synthesized by 1/MAO and 1/(MAO + TIBA), it is found that adding TIBA in the catalyst system increase the blockiness of the polymer chain, especially in the copolymerization system. It is assumed that, when iso-butyl is incorporated in the aluminoxane, ion pair of the active center and the aluminoxane counter ion may exist in different states that show different catalytic behaviors, resulting in the formation of polymers with block structure. 相似文献
Summary: Copolymerizations of propene and buta‐1,3‐diene performed in the presence of rac‐[CH2(3‐tert‐butyl‐1‐indenyl)2]ZrCl2 and methylaluminoxane (MAO) have been investigated. Buta‐1,3‐diene gives prevailingly primary coordination to the metal, producing overall 1,2 units. Cyclopropane and cyclopentane rings, although in low amounts, are also obtained. The presence of butadiene would be responsible for some regioirregular 2,1‐inserted propene units, which at high temperatures give rearrangement to 3,1 units.
Ethylene was polymerized at 5 bar in a stirred powder bed reactor with silica supported rac-Me2Si[Ind]2ZrCl2/methylaluminoxane (MAO) at temperatures between 40°C and 80°C using NaCl as support bed and triethylaluminium (TEA) as a scavenger for impurities. For this fixed recipe and a given charge of catalyst. the average catalyst activity is reproducible within 10% for low temperatures. The polymerization rate and the rate of deactivation increase with increasing temperature. The deactivation could be modeled using a first order dependence with respect to the polymerization rate. 相似文献
The kinetics of ethene and propene polymerization at 20–60°C in the presence of the homogeneous catalyst system rac‐Me2Si(2‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1‐indenyl)2ZrCl2/methylaluminoxane was investigated by means of stopped‐flow techniques. The specific rate of chain propagation, measured at the very short reaction times typical of this method, turned out to be ≈102 times higher for ethene than for propene; this suggests that diffusion limitations through the poly(ethylene) precipitating at longer reaction times may be responsible for the fact that the two monomers polymerize instead at comparable rates under “standard” conditions. It was also found that the concentration of active sites is significantly lower than the analytical Zr concentration. 相似文献
This work describes a comparative study of tribo- and photoluminescence of metallocenes (Cp2HfCl2, Cp2TiCl2, Cp2ZrCl2, (CpMe)2ZrCl2, rac-Me2C(3-But-Cp)2ZrCl2, Ind*2ZrCl2). Occurring under mechanodestruction of polycrystals, triboluminescence of zirconium bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes, Cp2ZrCl2, (CpMe)2ZrCl2, and rac-Me2C(3-But-Cp)2ZrCl2 has been revealed for the first time. The triboluminescence spectrum in air is similar to the photoluminescence spectrum of zirconocene polycrystals. The triboluminescence spectrum does not show *N2 luminescence. Ne and Ar lines are observed in the triboluminescence spectrum in the atmosphere of these gases. An increase in the number of substituents in zirconocene ligands leads to a bathochromic shift of the emission band maximum in triboluminescence spectra of the complexes. Possible mechanisms of zirconocene triboluminescence excitation are discussed. 相似文献
