In this contribution, the successful synthesis of a Brookhart-type unsymmetrical α-diimine nickel catalyst Ni, which contains both dibenzhydryl and phenyl groups, was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound has a pseudo-tetrahedral geometry at the Ni center, showing pseudo-C2-symmetry. Upon activation with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), Ni1 exhibits high catalytic activity up to 1.02 × 107 g PE (mol Ni h)−1 toward ethylene polymerization, enabling the synthesis of high molecular weight branched polyethylene. The molecular weights and branching densities could be tuned over a very wide range. The polymerization results indicated the possibility of precise microstructure control, depending on the polymerization temperature. The branching densities were decreased with increasing the polymerization temperature.展开更多

The metal complexes immobilized into the clay interlayers show a great potential as heterogeneous catalysts due to their excellent processability. In this study, nine types of heterogeneous procatalyst Ln/Ni2+-micas were synthesized via a one-pot preparation method, which includes both the condensation reaction of the ligand derivatives and the intercalation of the ligands into the Ni2+ ion-exchanged fluorotetrasilicic mica interlayer. The ligand structures of the prepared procatalysts were [Ln: R-N = C(Nap)-C(Nap) = N-R] [(Nap = 1,8-naphthdiyl) (L1, R = 2-MePh;L2, R = 2-FPh;L3, R = 2-BrPh;L4, R = 4-MePh;L5, R = 4-FPh;L6, R = 4-BrPh;L7, R = 2,4-F2Ph;L8, R = 2,4-Br2Ph;L9, R = 2,6-F2Ph). At 50℃ and 0.7 MPaethylene pressure, the triisobutylaluminum-activated L1-L6/Ni2+-mica showed a catalytic activity for the ethylene oligo-/polymerization in the range of 334 - 549 g-ethylene•g-cat–1•h–1. A high catalyst activity was obtained when the substituent having a larger steric bulk than that of a methyl substituent was introduced at the ortho-position of the aryl rings. The introduction of the fluorine substituent as a strong electron-withdrawing group to the para-position also increased the catalytic activity. The L2, L4, L5, and L6/Ni2+-micas showed moderate selectivities to oligomers consisting of C4-C20 in the range of 19.9 - 41.6 wt% at 50℃. The calculated Schulz-Flory constants α based on the mole fraction of C12 and C14 were within 0.61 - 0.78.展开更多

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.展开更多

The structure of complex 2 bearing trifluoro substituents was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 7.377（4）, b = 11.727（6）, c = 12.913（7） ？, α = 116.569（6）, β = 98.829（7）, γ = 96.520（6）°, V = 966.2（8） ？3, Z = 2, Mr = 479.86, Dc = 1.649 g/cm3, F（000） = 482, μ = 1.205 mm-1, the final R = 0.0370 and w R = 0.0903 for 3430 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. These mono-β-diiminato copper complexes can effectively catalyze methacrylate（MA） polymerization when activated by MMAO. The introduction of fluoro groups into the N-aryl ring of β-diiminato ligands can greatly increase the catalytic activity of copper complexes as well as the molecular weight of PMA.展开更多

Two supported catalysts S-1 and S-2 used as catalysts for ethylene polymerization were studied and the influences of various polymerization conditions, including the polymerization temperature, cocatalysts, Al/Ni molar ratio on the catalytic activity, branching degree and branch length of PE were also investigated. The experimental results show that the supported catalysts exhibit higher catalytic activity for ethylene polymerization, the highest catalytic activity of S-1 using AlEt2Cl as cocatalyst at 50 ℃, reaching 5.8×10^5gPE/molNi·h, and needed lower Al/Ni molar ratio compared to homogeneous analogue.展开更多
