RING-OPENING POLYMERIZATION OF ε-CAPROLACTONE BY LANTHANOCENE CATALYSIS*

Ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) catalyzed bylanthanocenes, O(C_2H_4C_5H_3CH_3)_2YCl (Cat-YCl) and Me_2Si[(CH_3)_3SiC_5H_3]_2NdCl(Cat-NdCl) has been carried out for the first time. It has been found that both yttroceneand neodymocene are very efficient to catalyze the polymerization of CL, giving high molec-ular weight poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL ). The effects of [cat] / [ε- CL] molar ratio, polymeriza-tion temperature and time, as well as solvents were investigated and polymerization tem-perature is found to be the most important factor affecting the polymerization. The bulkpolymerization gives higher molecular weight PCL and higher conversion than that in solu-tion polymerization. NaBPh_4 was found to promote the polymerization of ε-caprolactone,and thus to increase both the polymerization conversion and MW of poly (ε- caprolactone ).

应用稀土乙酰基丙酮盐［Ｙ（ＡｃＡｃ）３］与格氏试剂（ｎ－ＢｕＭｇＣｌ）络合催化ε－己内酯聚合。研究了单体与催化剂摩尔化、助催化剂用量、温度、时间及第三组份等条件对聚合反应的影响。结果表明，该催化体系具有较好的反应活性。增加助催化剂用量或选择合适的第三组份如二甲基亚砜能有效地提高单体转化率与聚合物分子量。分子量分布为２．１。Ｘ－衍射分析表明聚己内酯为结晶性聚合物。     

Polymerization of MMA catalyzed by different novel mixed ligand lanthanocene{(Cp)(Cl) LnSchiff-base (THF)},(COT) -Ln(methoxyethylindenyl)(THF) /Al (i -Bu)_3 systems

This article deals that the rare earth metal complexes along with Al(i'-Bu),can catalyze the polymerization of methyl-methacrylate (MMA) into high molecular weight poly(MMA) along with narrow molecular weight distributions (MWD).A typical example was mentioned in the case of {Cp(Cl) Sm-Schiff-base(THF)} which expresses maximum (conv.% = 55.46 and Mn=354×103) efficiency along with narrow MWD (Mw/Mn<2) at 60℃.The resulting polymer was partially syndiotactic (>60%).The effect of the catalyst,temperature,catalyst/MMA molar ratio,catalyst/Al( i-Bu)3 molar ratio on the polymerization of MMA at 60℃ were also investigated.
