摘要
A new α-diimine ligand 1a, bis[N,N′-（4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl）imino]-2,3-butanediylidene and its corresponding Ni（II） complex 2a, {bis[N,N′-（4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl）imino]-2,3-butanediylidene}dibromo- nickel were successfully synthesized, and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope（FTIR）, elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. α-Diimine ligand 1b, bis[N,N′-（2,6- dimethylphenyl）imino]-2,3-butanediylidene and its corresponding Ni（II） complex 2b, {bis[N,N′-（2,6-dimethyl- phenyl）imino]-2,3-butanediylidene}dibromonickel were also synthesized and characterized for comparison. The pre-catalyst 2a with sterically bulky, electron-donating group tert-butyl, activated by diethylaluminum chloride （DEAC） and tested in the polymerization of ethylene, was very highly active[2.01×107 g PE/（mol Ni？h？0.1 MPa）] and led to a very highly branched polyethylene（ca. 35―103 branches/1000 C）. The state of the polyethylene obtained varied from plastic, elastomer polymers to the oil-like hyperbranched polymers.
