Abstract: | Mono salicylaldiminato vanadium(III) complexes (1a-1f) [RN = CH(ArO)]VCl2(THF)2 (Ar = C6H4 (1a–1e), R = Ph, 1a; R = p-CF3Ph, 1b; R = 2,6-Me2Ph, 1c; R = 2,6-iPr2Ph, 1d; R = cyclohexyl, 1e; Ar = C6H2 tBu2(2,4), R = 2,6-iPr2Ph, 1f) and bis(salicylaldiminato) vanadium(III) complexes (2a–2f) [RN = CH(ArO)]2VCl(THF) x (Ar = C6H4 (2a–2e), x = 1 (2a–2e), R = Ph, 2a; R = p-CF3Ph, 2b; R = 2,6-Me2Ph, 2c; R = 2,6-iPr2Ph, 2d; R = cyclohexyl, 2e; Ar = C6H2 tBu2(2,4), R = 2,6-iPr2Ph, x = 0, 2f) have been evaluated as the active catalysts for ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization in the presence of Et2AlCl. The ligand substitution pattern and the catalyst structure model significantly influenced the polymerization behaviors such as the catalytic activity, the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the copolymers etc. The highest catalytic activity of 8.82 kg PE/(mmolV-h) was observed for vanadium catalyst 2d with two 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituted salicylaldiminato ligands. The copolymer with the highest molecular weight was obtained by using mono salicylaldiminato vanadium catalyst 1f having ligands with tert-butyl at the ortho and para of the aryloxy moiety. |
