Deuterio-ethylene labeling studies on two homogeneous chromium ethylene oligomerization catalysts show that chain propagation proceeds via metallacyclic intermediates; reactions performed in the presence of 1-nonene no incorporation higher olefin, strongly implicating involvement large ring metallacycles.
A series of co-oligomerization and copolymerization reactions C2H4/C2D4 (1:1) mixtures have been carried out using various transition metal catalysts based on Cr, Co, Fe in combination with MAO. The oligomeric α-olefin products analyzed by GC GC/MS, the experimental results compared theoretical mass spectra derived from mathematical models. Solid polymer samples 13C{1H} 13C DEPT-135 NMR spectroscopy. can be used as a method to differentiate between metallacyclic or Cossee-type chain growth...
Treatment of the bis(benzimidazolyl)amine chromium complex 2 with ethylene in presence MAO affords an exceptionally active oligomerization catalyst and unprecedented distribution 1-olefin products which C4n series is much more abundant than C4n+2 series. Deuterium labeling studies are consistent a metallacyclic chain growth mechanism unusual product arises from interplay two sites.
A series of bis(benzimidazole)-based cobalt(II) dichloride complexes containing a range different central donors has been synthesized and characterized. The nature the donor affects binding ligand to cobalt centre determines coordination geometry metal complexes. All have shown catalyse polymerization butadiene, in combination with MAO as co-catalyst, give cis-1,4-polybutadiene high selectivity. marked influence on activity catalysts, but does not affect polymer microstructure. addition...

The catalytic oligomerization of ethylene with chromium-based complexes containing bis(benzimidazolemethyl)amine (BIMA) ligands results in alternating distributions linear α-olefins (LAOs). Extremely high activities are obtained (>100 000 g mmol–1 h–1 bar–1) N-alkyl-substituted BIMA ligands, whereas bulky groups on the central nitrogen or alternative donors result much lower activities. Variations ligand backbone, as well methylation benzimidazole units, lead to reduction activity. LAO have...
Abstract The effect of the alcohol nature in TiCl4 catalysts supported on MgCl2, modified by recrystallization technique with SiCl4, has been investigated terms activity and tacticity control. A series alcoholic solutions using 1-hexanol, t-butanol, butanol, iso-propanol, propanol ethanol, were recrystallized SiCl4 supports subsequently impregnated TiCl4. Also, as a way comparison, prepared from MgCl2 1-hexanol solvent evaporation quick cooling. characterized infrared energy dispersive...
